What would be a good anxiety treatment. For a one year old. He had anxiety during the night. Been to vet already and had all the blood work done. All was good.

If I were you I would try Adaptil first. It is a natural pheromone treatment. Give it a couple months of consistent use to see if it helps before resorting to other stronger treatments like medications/drugs. It may also help to get him neutered as those hormones can cause stress/anxiety. ( https://www.adaptil.com/us#redirected ) Hope this helps. Best wishes.
