Hi Everyone, Barkley has had a few random "episodes" over the past month or so and I wanted to see if anyone else had experienced this?
About a month ago I woke up around 5 a.m. to him screaming in his crate like something was attacking him. I ran out there and by the time I got there he was done and acting just fine. I checked his crate and around it to make sure there wasn't a bug or something that bit him but didn't see anything so I thought maybe he was just having a nightmare and was freaked out. A few weeks later the same thing happened around 3 a.m. and I couldn't find anything that would be causing it and he seemed just fine when I got to him.
The other day I got home from work and as soon as I walked in the door I heard him start screaming again. I ran over to his crate and he was still screaming and freaking out like he was trying to get out of the crate. I opened his crate and he continued freaking out for a few more seconds then came out and acted normal.
It's so strange, he never barks or whines and you would never know when he gets hurt barbecue he never makes a noise, so this is really worrying me. I took him to the vet yesterday and they said they don't think it would be seizures since he is conscious during it but said I could come back in for labwork if it keeps happening.
I still think maybe it could be a seizure but it seems to only happen when he is in his crate so I didn't know if it could be something like a muscle cramp from him laying in there for awhile?
If anyone has any advice or has experienced anything like this please let me know!! Thanks!
