I am on a very fixed income and cannot afford to take her to a vet for this issue.
Can any one give me any advice on what I can possibly do to help her please?
Thanks!

My chihuahua is scared of sounds too .. almost every loud sound - even if my phone makes certain beeping noises.
I cuddle her, sing to her, pet her, whisper "I love you .. it will be alright", show her what it was (if possible), sometimes allow her to smell some lavender essential oil (if she wants to - that one is safe for dogs n helps anxiety), also put a small blanket over her - like a little child .. to her blankets are a comfort as much as a thing for warmth n chihuahuas love them!
