Hey, guys.
I have a Black Lab Mix named Mellow [which she is anything but], who is one of the sweetest dogs I've ever had the pleasure of knowing. However, lately, she has been acting pretty strangely.
Some facts about her: She's about 3 years old. My brother brought her home from college after his friend abandoned the litter when the puppies were about 3 weeks old (which I think is way too early to be away from their mother). She's up to date on all her shots and sees a vet regularly.
The problem: Usually, she's somewhat needy, which I know is the lab in her, but yesterday she was shaking pretty terribly for no reason. She calmed down a bit, but today, she is particularly clingy and begins to tremor whenever someone speaks, as if people are screaming. When I've been near her, I've resorted to whispering to others in my home so I don't agitate her. She'll club at a person with her paw to get their attention and will begin trying to crawl into our laps while nudging at our arms, faces and chests. She's been doing this all morning and it's driving me crazy because I want to help her, but I have no idea what I can do.
Does anyone know what's going on and what can possibly be done to help her? Any help would be immensely appreciated.
Thank you in advance! <3
