| Agoraphobia In Dogs?
I have a husky-shepard-collie mix who is 9 1/2 years old. She is physically healthy, but over the last year she has been developping a problem. She is afraid to go for a walk. It started with her refusing to walk on busy streets. Then she refused to leave her own street. Soon, she would only go to the end of the driveway. Now, she won't even leave the backyard. The vet wasn't very helpful and said it could be from old age. But still, it's a very serious problem. She has put on a few pounds because she never leaves the property. I hate to see my dog so strung out like this. What can I do to make her better? I have tried slowly approaching the street with all of the family around her, but it doesn't help. Does she need a form of puppy Paxil?? Is this a common problem? Any info would be appriciated. Thanks! |
