That does sound pretty extreme. I would bring the issue up with your vet as they can provide a sedative that can help Lucy to relax some while you are away. I would also highly recommend trying to find a veterinary behaviorist in your area as this is an extreme response to separation anxiety. Veterinary behaviorists are veterinarians trained in behavior that can work with you both on training to help reduce the anxiety and behavior and combining it with medication so it is less stressful for everyone while the changes are made.
