Early evening here ha ha. I’m pretty sure I remember Linda saying something very similar about her jumping out of bed once because she was sure Sadie wasn’t breathing. She said very much the same thing as you. Linda freaked and Sadie does the “what’s up with you” thing too.
I like Brigitte’s idea of filming it, but I think it sounds like a really really deep sleep.
They are such bad dogs aren’t they.
Lots of love, Vally & Bingo
Sounds like it could be an infection and I think you’d probably need to get some antibiotics as the prednisone will affect the body being able to deal with it by itself.
I’ll buy a copy of your CD “don’t worry until you have something you know you need to worry about!” – can I have a discount though, I look after a very expensive dog :)

Hi Julie,
Your Scruffy was such a beautiful boy and it’s so unfair that he was just a baby.
I live in Sydney and my local vets ummed and aaared about things for about 6 weeks before they eventually said they didn’t know what was wrong with Bingo and suggested I see an internal specialist. The specialist worked it out very quickly. I’m very very grateful Bingo wasn’t critical at that point, or I would most certainly have lost him.
Don’t regret what couldn’t be done or couldn’t be afforded – the cost of treatment is so unbearably huge. We’re just meant to love them as much as we can. Your love for Scruffy is so very visible.
Thanks for sharing. Vetnet was a lifesaver back then and I’m so very very glad Patrice got this site going. There is such a need. Please visit, your experience, I have no doubt, would always be able to be of help to someone.

And we got through dinner. I literally through his meal at him because he started barking for it and I was scared to let him get too worked up.
It was too early really as he’d had his thyroxine about 55 minutes earlier. I snuck into the kitchen to get his food ready so he wouldn’t have to wait while I put it together. Well of course he knows what I’m doing and he follows me in. A few little woofs to let me know he’s waiting before he goes into full blown barks. I’m trying to get his dinner finished, watching him, watching the time and I hurriedly got it down to him just a few minutes early. I don’t know what my blood pressure would have been. Anyway, he finished eating, cleaned his mouth on the carpet and went to get his blanket to play. He got his ball for me to toss a couple of times, but we’re not pushing it tonight.
I may delay ringing the vet tomorrow if nothing untoward happens tonight. Try and get through another day and see how he goes with tomorrow’s dinner.
I’m really really hoping it was the collar that may have just been a bit too tight and when he gets worked up at feeding time, it’s constricted his throat.
Or, the fact that it’s happened each time while he’s loosing it waiting for me to get his dinner for him, makes me think it’s food related (sugar lows?) or his adrenal glands aren’t coping with him stressing out over dinner on this latest reduction.
He’s not as bad food wise in the morning, lunch or supper time. At dinner he’s always starving. Anyway that’s what I’m hoping.
Love Vally and well stuffed.
Bingo has behaved since last night. I’ve been watching him til my eyes are crossed, but I think before dinner seems to the “the time” so I’ll be really really watching then.
The barking I’m pretty sure is not because he’s pre-seizure, but very food related. He’s always like this with all his food and all his treats.
I’m just wondering if we’ve hit the lowest we can go with pred and his adrenal glands are not coping.
