I, too, suspect that having only one eye makes him feel more afraid when he hears a loud noise, as in...."where is THAT coming from?" And has been said, there could be issues with the healthy eye. Nabi is our expert on the subject. Let's she what she says. That being said, our Chi mix Rosie, ten lbs when we lost her a few weeks ago, shivered and hyperventilated like a 2 lb chi at thunder, loud wind storms and small earthquakes. Unfortunately are all common here. She would be inconsolable when one or more of those events happened. I had a snug fitting little jacket for her that closed with velcro and she couldn't take it off. That and some Rescue Remedy on her tongue helped a whole lot. You can rub Rescue Remedy into his ear leather, too. Sometimes Rosie would go hide in a closet until the threat was over. It seems that if they have that kind of nervous system, we just have to adjust. Not baby the pooch or make a big deal out of comforting him, but some rituals like Rosie's jacket may help. Poor little guy!
