Why is my puppy stressed, biting fur, and crying after routine change?

Question

Hi, I think my puppy is seriously stressed out. She's eating, drinking, pottying fine. Recently our routine has changed because I'm back at school and my mom is back at work from the summer so she cries every morning when we're still home. She's NEVER home alone we made sure our hours are so she doesn't stress but she's still stressing. We were just playing and she went on a sniffing fit. Sniffing everywhere but she stopped. She bites at her fur but I do stop her. What can I do to help her? Pet's info: Dog | Mixed Breed | Female | spayed | 7 months and 24 days old | 10.6 lbs

Hello, sorry to hear about your puppy. What you're reporting sounds like Snowball may be having some allergies which could definitely cause the clinical signs your are describing. Allergies can also lead to anxiety and stress due to the itchiness and discomfort. Other possible causes of her stress could be associated with you not being around such as with separation anxiety. If Snowball continues to break at her self or act very anxious, I would have her evaluated by your veterinarian. Monitor her skin for any redness, areas or hair loss, swelling or pain and notify your veterinarian if you note any. Hope this helps and best of luck
