[Dailydrool] Heavy Panting and Drooling

[BAmox at aol.com]

Allison,

It is not unusual for Bassets (and dogs for that matter) to wander into the 
bathroom when they are stressed or anxious. I haven't heard a logical 
explanation why. My Phred used to go in there when there was a nasty storm, I 
even heard of hounds climbing into the tub. For some reason they feel safer in 
there??
A friend has a Lab mix who has very similar anxiety issues but more 
constantly. Lots of panting and being very clingy. He gets valium for more severe 
episodes, and they tried prozac which changed things but he was just a zombie 
at the effective doses. They are also trying rimadyl (carprofen) to see if 
there are any physical pain issues contributing to it, as he has mild 
dysplasia.
Keep us posted on progress!

Robert and Phred (ATB)
