Hi Guys
I'm after some guidance:
Taz our little terrier x is acting really weird since Monday, he will not settle downstaris, he keep's running upstairs to our room on our bed, he was restless last night, kept my other half awake wimpering and licking his face, he got up as he thought he wanted a toilet, but as soon as the bedroom door opened he shot up on the bed and wouldn't move.
No change in the routine, eating of, drinking as normal, we are at a loss to what the matter with him!
He comes down stairs to greet us from work, he came down lunch time (i come home lunch times) he was okish then but this evening, he's dissapeared, he's very anxiuos, looking up in the corners of the room, he kept licking his lips if thats any relevance, Pete, my other half, had to restrian him to hold him on his lap as all he wanted to do was get out of the room! He continually is looking around looking unsettled. He appears a bit more relaxed upstairs, still not his 100% usual self. He's a right lap dog usually and won't leave Pete alone
He's not hurt, we've checked him all over and there is nothing physically wrong with him that we can see.
Calling him downstairs won't work, we have to physically bring him down.
We are getting really worried, can anyone offer any advice??

Is the dog worried by fireworks or anything? If this behaviour is only occuring during the evening it could be that. Or something could have upset him downstairs that only seemed minor to you. Sudden changes in behaviour should always be checked out by your vet though.

Do you just have the one dog? or do you have other dogs and cats?

Yes, just him and no cats - he hates them!
Quiet around here, i guess we only notice it in the evenings as we work during the day, and he's always been used to us being out during the day.

I will book him into the vet tomorrow Hope he doesn't think i'm being paranoid!

He's definately not right

Mmm could be, we'll never know, do you think he'll be like this forever now? or will he eventually get back to ole Taz?

Licking lips an be a sign of nausea, has he been sick at all? Does sound like some anxious reaction to something but def worth getting him checked out by a vet just to be sure. Hope he's back to his normal terrier self soon!

Ok is your house old ?

Not tryin to scare you or anything my friend had a similar problem with her dog and after lots of money spent at vets they still had no clue...........until someone suggested the house could be haunted........dogs can sense things like that

They had their house blessed and dog is back to normal self again now

Dosnt have to be what it is but worth looking into if vets give a clean bill of health

Yeah, my terrier follows 'things' around the house and growls and snarls into the direction she is following, dogs can sense spirits and what not so i would investigate that. My dog only does it downstairs too.

Have you seen any wasps/bees etc.....it's been a bit warmer lately......possible sting and may have frightened him........

Yes dogs and children are very well tuned in to spirits, he may well have picked up on something like this.....have you had any sad news lately or not too long back?.....depends how sceptical you maybe about it but i BET there are poeple on here somewhere that can validate spiritual experience
