Poor baby! I hope she ... and you ... get some relief quickly!

It is already looking less red .

What a strange virus. Had occasion to talk to our finance guy today. His neighbor, late 50's, obese, diabetic got it and recovered rapidly. The neighbor's wife, 50 in apparent good health got it has been on a ventilator for a month, and if she survives will most likely need a lung transplant. Things are opening up here in NJ, but caution and common sense is still needed. There is no telling who is vulnerable and who may be more resistant.

I've recently learned that it's now being theorized to be a circulatory virus & that respitory issues are being seen as the typical symptoms.

I shamefully admit I take my dogs' CBD (peanut flavor!) to deal with their anxiety on things like July 4th. I can't stand watching them panic, even reduced panic, (and yes one of them gets the CBD too) so I take it too.

Haha that's funny! we just started selling bacon cheddar and drumstick flavors for pets... I've been wanting to try!! Remember to up their dose on the 4th, poor babies.

Thundershirts might work for some, with very mild issues. Otherwise, it's drugs and training.

Think my beagle has PTSD from when she was a hunting beagle. Any loud noise flips her out real bad. I usually hold her and she snuggles on me while shaking and whining. Something happened with her previous owners I’m sure before I got her. She was 3 when I adopted her. Gun shots are the worst with her!

Sound phobias happen, and seem to be congenital. Sometimes they start early, and often get worse over time. Cuddling is praise, and tells her she's right to be afraid! Often this makes the behavior worse too.

Every living being has endocannabinoids and cbd connects with those receptors to put us in balance. PTSD is one of the most common conditions being treated with CBD. Your beagle will thank you. And you will be relieved seeing the results. ❤ there's lots of info onine but I'm happy to help too.

She calms down when I do it. I do not feel like it’s praise, since it calms her down and she doesn’t continue shaking or flipping out. She has an abusive past, I have worked with many dogs who have been abused. They require a lot more work than most. It’s taken almost 4 years to get her to be a normal dog.

This beagle didn’t even know how to play or socialize with other dogs. She bit me and drew blood the first time I played with her. She has come a long way in the 4 years I’ve had her.

When it thundered the other day she hid under the bed and I went and got her. I rubbed her big floppy ears until she calmed down. She slept like a baby the rest of the night. Before she would freak out all night long. I think she finds comfort in me like I do her.

My DH has been diagnosed with PTSD and he uses CBD as well. When he’s not using it you can tell because he starts having bad days.

I wish there was something I could do for my horse when he gets upset. He's from KY and I'm positive he's been through some sort of severe wind event. General every day winds don't bother him and he can get frisky in the normal "Hey, it's a windy day time to buck, fart, and act like a typical horse in the wind" kind of way.
However whenever a storm comes up quick or the winds are suddenly strong enough to sway trees he will position himself as far from the trees as possible and stand like a sentinel and watch the trees. Yeah, plenty of horses do this, that's not new.....it's the way he does this. He knows they are likely to snap or come down and he's seen it happen before. He's ready for every pop or crack and reacts when he hears them.

Normally if he's agitated about something my presence will calm him. In the pasture, in the barn, out and about...but not during strong winds. It's as if he says "No, mom...stay back, stay away!" and he will not come to me. He always comes to me otherwise.
He's also one of the rare horses who is not calmed by being in the barn. He's a watcher and needs to see what is happening around him.
Been around horses my whole life and I've never seen one act quite like he does. Wish I knew what he'd been through before I got him, but I suspect he was probably near enough to a tornado event.
