I just talked to a friend today who tried the thundershirt and said it helped a lot.

If she is really really frightened you could always ask for a sedative just for the holiday. Usually vets prescribe Acepromazine which doesn't necessarily help with fireworks, better to ask for a valium type sedative like Alprazolam (not sure exact spelling of that one). Also Rescue Remedy is a natural substance you can get at any natural food store. Get the Rescue Remedy for humans, not animals, because it works better. You just put one or two drops on a cracker or piece of bread and feed it to them about an hour or two before fireworks. It works really well to calm their nerves. You can also dilute it and spray it in her bed or crate.
