We've only had Wellie since September 20th, so not even four months yet but I've noticed something peculiar.
Sometime in October, he was in a very deep sleep on the couch. I sat down and put my arm around him. He immediately woke up, ran across the couch like the devil was chasing him, and jumped down.
It was so weird but I figured he's a really deep sleeper and I just startled him.
Then in December, he had his palate/nare/neuter surgery. Instead of waking up slowly from the anesthesia, he woke right up, bolted and they had to chase him down. Similar to my experience back in October.
Just now- he's on the couch fully awake. I see him licking/biting one area of his foot due to allergies. But that area is very red and irritated. So I go into the kitchen, get a cotton ball and pour some Malacetic Ultra on it. The hydrocortisone helps a lot.
As I'm walking towards him, I start to reach out when I'm a foot or so away. He recoils and makes the most heart breaking sound. WTF could that have been about?
It broke my heart.
He's not an abused dog, nor has he ever been so that can't be it. But for whatever reason, I scared him.
I'm starting to wonder if it's a neurological issue? Has anyone ever had, or heard of something similar.
