boy oh boy..that so sounds like Jethro when he had his numerous panic attacks over the years...the only thing that really zonked him out were promax from the vets... now he is old he is going deaf , and doesn't hear alot of the noises and sounds that used to terrify him...
I can so relate to how you must have felt.

Herman's terrified of the stuff we use to clear his ears of fluid.

Herman's not fond of the vacuum either.

Oh, poor Keely!

poor lil gal

The hose pipe

Millie loves swimming in filthy or even clean water but hates getting a bath, she is quite nervous and isnt keen if I suddenly drop something like a pan on the tile kitchen floor, she will get scared, she isnt keen on loud bangs but isnt scared of firweorks (not too sure about storms?????)

Casey is terrified of fireworks and getting a bath but especially fireworks.shes not that bothered about loud noises!!!!

Awww poor Sid, bless him, so glad he has found a good home with you.x

Lola used to be scared of men (she was mistreated) she lives with three men now and loves them! but all three are scared of the hoover, heavy rain, cats and their toothbrush soppy things xx

Des is afraid of horses, we live in the country so we are working to get him used to them by walking past fields with them in etc.
He was a rescue from the town so he hasn't seen much wildlife :-)

Most definitely for Tilly , running or moving water she is really uncomfortable being near to the waves at the beach, or by the river if its moving quickly , associated by sound as often she can't see it , but she will walk by the canal all day without a problem

Saffy isn't scared of anything at the moment. Don't know whether it's a good or bad thing!

My OH took her to work to his bodyshop Saturday and it didn't bother her at all, all the banging, compressors and cars in and out. She was more curious then anything.

i he is scared of all the options but i clicked on other cos he is scared of black bin liners which we find hilarious

Lexi doesnt like a bath, but i wouldn't say shes afraid of water or baths.

Pixee is scared of shadows and dark. She is ok once in the bath, but I have a game getting her in . And does not like deep water. I think the one I will vote for is being left alone. She hates it. The longest we have left her, which is the first time on Saturday just gone is 4 hours. Boy was she so happy to see us. We always leave treats for her, they are never touched till we get back.

RC cars

Pippa hates bath and water (like the lake or the sea and rain) but loves the hose and spray bottles

Hoover !

The other morning I got up and walked downstairs....normally Blue is right behind me....went to let him out and thought were is he... so I went upstairs to find the cat sat in the bedrrom doorway and blue sat down with his head down like he had been told off

Hehe poor Blue My two Jack & Juno are both afraid of our cats too How funny

Troy doesn't really get scared but likes to face things he isn't sure about head on!

He thinks he is tough but is a big softy really

His shadow, the dark, things that weren't there last time he looked the tennis racquet fly zapper, if you drop something that rattles/clangs inflatable wobby things outside car garages.

Just a few for now! He's a big wimp but we love him

I discovered cairo is afraid of beetles yesterday.One was walking across her bed.She saw it,went to look at it, turned inside out with fright and jumped onto my lap shaking

Loki was afraid of sudden heavy rain. I wasn't at home, he was with my dad, but he told me that it started raining heavily and when Loki heard the noise, he dived out of his bed and ran to where my dad was sitting. Then, when it started getting quieter, he edged slowly towards his bed, trying to figure out if it was safe. Silly guy

He used to be scared of the hairdryer too, we discovered when we used it to dry him after a bath, but he's pretty good with it now cos I stood there next to him while it was on.

Blue has always been frightened of bin bags. Even the kitchen one which is full of food. I left it on the floor once and let him in his own time investigate. Lots of treats and rewards for touching it with his nose. He turned away and 2 secs later he was back to ARRRRR bin bag.
