Our little Scout had some episodes of screaming and we finally figured out (per X-rays)that he had hurt his back. He would just start screaming and then would hold himself stiffly and would shake. It really looked like he was having a seizure but he was not unresponsive or incontinent of his bowels or bladder like our other epileptic dog when she seized. Yes I know there are all different degrees of seizures. Anyway, did they check out his back? After a steroid shot, anti-inflamitories and restricted activity for 5 weeks he has been fine. Sue
