Phyllis, I always error on the side of safety and I go to the vet with my experience. I would not prolong trying to figure this out any longer, I would get them both examined. Good luck and let us know what was decided.

Every night she and her >husband would walk the dogs in the park and they were enjoying themselves a >great deal. A few days ago she called me to tell me that her girl Woodie >was suddenly acting a little spooked, but I have been slightly "indisposed" >so she left a message and asked me to call her when I was feeling better. >Yesterday she called and said that Woodie was shaking and hiding in the >corner, etc. I called her back on her cell phone and she was in the park at >the time and said she thought Woodie was better out of the apartment. I >suggested that there might be a mouse in the barely inhabited apartment (with >cartons, etc) that spooked her. Even though it is on the 36th floor it is an >apartment hotel with a restaurant that could attract large mice (sometimes >called rats but I am avoiding that terminology.) Jan liked that idea and >decided to go home to the new house. Everything seemed fine for the first >night, but tonight her husband called, equally concerned. Mid day Woodie >started acting funny again. She does shake sometimes, but mainly she hides >in corners. She goes in different parts of the house to be alone and this is >definitely something she has never done. They have a built in cubby in the >kitchen under Jan's desk and she spends much of the time there. By way of >further explanation, this new home is 10 minutes from their old one. They >have 6 acres behind a stone wall with beautiful grounds, etc. Every day Jan >would take the dogs to the new house to hang out and take them with her to >run errands and often into the city. So the problem can't be either the city >noises or the new atmosphere of a strange new home since neither is a new to >the dogs. I have no idea what the problem could be. Jan honestly is >considering calling a pet psychic. Today her male dog stopped suddenly in >the middle of a room and stared into the air. She called his name and he did >not move til her "man" that works for her and lives with the family (named >Rex, honestly) broke his trance by nudging him under the chin. He didn't >even look at Rex as he walked toward him across the room. If the problem had >not started in the city she would have thought the old house was haunted and >the spirits did not like the fact that they have now moved in after it was >uninhabited for 3 years. (This house does have an interesting history.) I >suggested that take her to the vet. Shaking could mean some sort of pain. I >guess the vet could check her out and take some blood. What do you think? >Jan is bringing both dogs to my house tomorrow morning. They do spend a fair >amount of time at my house and we thought we could see if they are relaxed >here or still act sort of strange (actually the male is fine now.) >This is sort of weird, but could turn out to be nothing more than a sprain or >a pain. >What do you think? >Phyllis > >========================================================= >"Magic Commands": >to stop receiving mail for awhile, click here and send the email: >mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]?body=SET%20CKCS-L%20NOMAIL >to start it up gain click here: >mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]?body=SET%20CKCS-L%20MAIL > > E-mail [EMAIL PROTECTED] for assistance. >Search the Archives... http://apple.ease.lsoft.com/archives/ckcs-l.html > >All e-mail sent through CKCS-L is Copyright 2002 by its original author. ========================================================= "Magic Commands": to stop receiving mail for awhile, click here and send the email: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]?body=SET%20CKCS-L%20NOMAIL to start it up gain click here: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]?body=SET%20CKCS-L%20MAIL E-mail [EMAIL PROTECTED] for assistance.
