srnity: I agree with not giving her any meds,she will come through this.I would suggest though that maybe after a few weeks you get back to a normal routine with her...Did you always take her everywhere that you went before this happened? If not then I would say slowly go back to that routine.Dogs thrive on consistancy.You may be accidently feeding into her anxiaty (sp) by taking her everywhere.She may need to just see Mom leave and then see that hey..Mom WILL come back after all.I'm not an expert but I am just telling you what I have been told by a trainer.Good luck and please keep us all posted !!!
