Very strange behaviour from dog

geminilady

My son has just told me this about his lovely dog and we are both very puzzled maybe someone has an idea

---

"6am heard a load of barking from downstairs came down and she was laid down shaking and she'd wrecked the blinds she was also drooling. I tried to here near her and she snapped at me" This is very out of character she is a lab and has never ever snapped. My son seems to think she had a bad dream,i think maybe she saw something out of the window.She is fine now.

My dog goes ape if he spots a fox in the garden

Fox in the garden?


If it was, I'd have expected the dog to want to go out and investigate though.

The other possibility is a physical cause such as some sort of seizure.
Maybe just monitor now and see if anything else happens.

Yes they are keeping a close eye on her

I'm in agreement vwith elsien, it sounds like some type of seizure. If she'd have seen something exciting then she wouldn't be lying down.

Difficult for a vet to do anything with a one off event. Hopefully it is a one off, just keep an eye on her.

Lying down shaking sounds absolutely terrified to me. Like that poor dog on the anti-fireworks ads on FB - shaking like a leaf.

lol maybe your friend has ghosts in his house and the dog saw them?
