If I knew a storm was coming and I would not be home, the best solution was a shipping crate covered by a blanket. She dug numerous holes in walls trying to escape the storms. The worst though, was when she tried to dig in the tub and wore down her nails to the quicks. There was blood all over the house. The best thing for her was drugs from the vet, but I could give a half dose.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Another vet told me to use peppermint oil on the dogs paw pads.
