Hello, thank you for your question about Lulu. Based on the symptoms you are describing and the recent history of significant travel I would suspect that she is experiencing anxiety/stress secondary to this large change. If this behavior continues or Lulu develops any other symptoms I would recommend having her seen by a veterinarian to look for any other underlying problems. Hope this helps!
