Probably not going to work out very well for you if she is really stressing out at home.Be more specific in what you mean by " stressed "

I've always heard of using either baking soda on their snout or a rag soaked in some kind of vinegar and let them smell it when they begin to stress or go down. Never had to use it but just something ive heard.

baking soda helps with stress starting but you need something like pickle juice if they are stressing out to get it under control . i would have some in a spray bottle and close by
