Hi, our 6 year old dog has recently became really frightened of the wind at night, she is up all night pacing around the house and nothing we seem to do will settle her.
She has always slept happily in the kitchen in her bed - occasionally coming upstairs but then goes back to her bed after a few minutes. For the last six weeks she has been really unsettled and just walks round the house crying all night. We have tried letting her out into the garden, leaving the radio on low and a light on in the kitchen, bringing her bed upstairs onto the landing, having her bed in our room next to our bed even sitting downstairs in the living room with her all night but nothing seems to settle her and we obviously can not control the wind at night.
We took her to the vets to make sure everything was ok health wise and he said she was fine and suggested trying some medication to settle her at night (we tried this and it had no effect on her at all!)
Just wondering if anyone has any ideas of what else we can try, she is fine in the day, even when she is home alone (I put ds’ video baby monitor in the kitchen when I went to work to see if she was ok )
