I’m sorry to hear about Mia! This type of behavior is often due to anxiety. I would strongly recommend talking to your vet about anti-anxiety/ behavior modificatiion medication which can make a huge difference! Sometimes, training is also needed in conjunction to medication. Best of luck to you and Mia!
