I was sitting on the couch and Baloo was laying in front of me on the floor on top of my feet
this is one of his favorite places to hang out.. He was sleeping when all of the sudden he flew up off the floor like someone set his tail on fire and walked around the room with his head down, looking scared and confused. I called him and he didn't come at first but I was able to get him to come in my vicinity and calmed him while encouraging him to lay down. It was almost like he didn't hear me or something... A few moments passed and he was fine. He has did this a couple of times before once was when I was grooming him. I mentioned it to the vet and he thought Baloo was just trying to be avoidant about being groomed...
I'm wondering if he is getting "shocks" like you can get when you have nerve pain, as he has hip dysplasia and arthritis in his front leg. He does have a tremor in his hind quarter but he has had that since he was young. The vet was not overly concerned about this tremor as it wasn't causing him pain and in retrospect can go along with the hips. The other thing I wondered if he could be having a seizure? That is kinda of what happens when my son has a seizure he starts to wander and doesn't know what's happening around him, is frightened and doesn't remember anything when he wakes up...
Any thoughts would be appreciated
