DIY dog acupressure videos: Anxiety

On October 29, 2013, Shayna began exhibiting what I can only describe as extreme anxiety as I was putting her to bed.  (More description)  The chilling part of this was that the last night we stayed up all night together was October 29, 2012, after she collapsed out of the blue, and was diagnosed with having a belly-full of bloody fluid, which had also filled up her heart sack (periocardium).  Details here.

As I was putting her to bed, and began my prayer routine for her (which I’d been doing for the previous 350 nights or so), she stood up, wanted to go outside, but just stood there and stared at me.  (more description).
