my jack russell hides under my bed

My Jack Russell is 5 years old and has always had anxiety, but lately he has been hiding under my bed like he is scared when we are home. He has never done this. If I am in my room he lays on the bed very near me but refuses to leave the bedroom. Please help!

Well he is acting normal otherwise, he still eats good. If he has a bone in the living room or something he comes running out to get it but then runs right back under the bed to chew on it. He has always had a ton of anxiety but this seems odd to me.

To me, this type of behavior change can sometime indicate that there might be a physical problem going on beyond the anxiety. I would take your Jack to the vet to get a full workup (blood, fecal, etc) to make sure there is nothing going on that the eye can't see.
