They can. But there is also a vest called thunder vests that help as well. My mom's dog has one.
I do not work at this place but I am a pharmacy technician. Veterinarians are becoming more and more cautious about giving animals anti-anxiety medicines because their owners are taking their animal's prescription. (Not accusing or saying you would ever do something like that.) A few bad apples have really messed it up for the rest of us when our animals are in serious need. :-( I truly hope they are able to provide your fur baby with some relief.
