Some just do better with crating than others. I remember when I was crating Samson, regardless of the time of year, when I went to let him out, he'd be panting like he had run a race!!! He still does that actually and he isn't crated now. You can buy these water bottles that attach to the crate, I used them when Buck & Tia had to fly, you may try that, altho I doubt if she is actually thirsty...You could try leaving a radio on low for her, something soothing, I used to do that for mine. A lot of it is just the anxiety that you are leaving, Samson was awful, he truly didn't think I was coming back....One other thing, don't make a production out of leaving or coming back, keep it calm, and that could also rub off on her as well....
