There are several options including compression wear, such as the ThunderShirt, anti-anxiety medication (you'll need ti have him examined by your veterinarian first for these) or calming chews. You can also try to gradually desensitize Milo to the storms by playing a recording for ever increasing periods of time and volume. Praise and reward him when he responds appropriately. Distraction with toys and tasks may also get his mind off the stirm.
