Is anxiety contagious?

I swear these dogs are driving me bonkers...lol! Buddy has the worse anxiety ever! When we both leave he goes nuts. When I leave and his daddy stays home he still goes nuts. Marley used to not care. Her butt would just lay on the couch and stay there till we came home. Now she whines like crazy because her daddy has left her. Poor pup won't leave the front door and window. Buddy is just sitting in the hallway looking at Marley then looking at me....lol! I hope it clicks with Buddy that its annoying to whine and cry when we leave. That is all. Have a Merry Christmas everyone!

i dunno if it is or isn't contagious but i can tell you this ever since bruno was attacked by a pitbull she doesn't want me far from her. if i have to leave she cries and barks til i come back she hates when i leave. when she hears me getting ready to come back up the stairs she goes and sits on her bed and looks at me like oh your back i am so glad to see u then she comes running to me with her mouth all covered in slobber from her freaking out while i was gone.

you might need to talk to your vet and see if they can give you something for it.

Anxiety is contagious. I get it from my mother.
