Hi,
can dogs walk in their sleep?
Not
that she shouldn't take her dog to the vet though, Zeus the night before he died
had an episode where he was confused and did not know who I was, he was
terrified and looked right through me. Took me a while to calm him down. The
next day we found out he had a tumour, so get it checked out for sure.
But I
wanted to ask if it could also be something as simple as sleep walking? My
oldest daughter does this allot! Sleep walking, spinning, talking in riddles
ect. It sound just like something she'd do. She always seems wide awake,
sometimes will carry on a conversation ect, till she spins and walks into a
wall, or is wide eyed and afraid of the "big bear" in her room and can I ask him
to leave! Very strange and always different.
Till
this day we have a gate at the top of the stairs...just in
case.
Just
wondering if it could be something like this. Allot easier to take than a brain
tumour.

neurological incident
My boy Beau had two different episodes that
looked like seizures. The first one sounded very similar to your dogs
episode. He came staggering into my bedroom with his head down, panting
heavily, and incoherent. I thought he was having a heart attack as he had a
heart murmur. I went to him and touched him but he didn't seem to recognize
me. I went and grabbed my phone to call the vet. When I got back into my
bedroom Beau stood up and wagged his tail and seemed absolutely normal.
He had one other seizure that I saw. That time
he was playing in the front yard with his little lab/ border collie sister.
He was at a full run and just flopped into the grass face first. I went to
him and held him until he snapped out of it. I never saw any more evidence
of seizures and my vet didn't feel there was enough seizures to warrant
putting him on anti seizure medication. It was very scary to witness but
didn't seem to affect his quality of life.
I would definitely have your vet take a look at
your pyr. Better safe then sorry is my motto.
