The fireworks hurt ppl? How so?
Lack of common sense.
They sure do!! Every single year she struggles with it.Dogs hate 4th of July, its so scary for them.
Seems to get worse as our BC ages; she even has anxiety attacks when it thunders. The vet gave us some pills last year (& we still have some leftovers) that calm her down reasonably well -- Acepromazine.
Oh that's awful, I'm sorry she struggles so much! I imagine Skye will reach that stage, too, sadly.
Not all dogs are so affected like this with 'BOOMS' of course. I don't know how many dogs we've had now & this is the first one that goes nutz like this. Her spells do last for hours; but at least soon after the "action" is over she calms right down & acts "normal" again.

And you'd THINK that cats' hearing would be just as sensitive or acute as dogs'.

I didn't know dogs' hearing is as sensitive as their sense of smell! Wow.Excellent question!
