I'd talk to the vet about the meds. No telling what she has experienced in the past. She isn't a puppy you are training.
Fortunately the past doesn't matter, and her age isn't relevant. This fear is something that can be addressed at any age. No, it won't be as easy as buying a bottle of tranquilizers but the results will last much longer and be better for the dog.
