| Re: EXTREME freak out???? Nisha hasn't been on any medications, or received any vaccines recently. She is scheduled for all her shots on May 27th. Rabies is a very big concern here; we have a large bat colony right in our town and dead/rabid bats are found somewhat regularly. I never even considered rabies! Last night I was thinking "maybe she has distemper"; but I really don't know the signs of it.
We have a small backyard that we keep short; when outside I always "check" on her through our sliding glass door. I feel like I would notice her eating/playing with an animal though.
She has not been around any wild or unvaccinated animals. Except maybe the big frog I mentioned earlier.
She went potty a few minutes ago (poop); it was full of woody and grassy/leafy type stuff. So this confirms that she did eat something that could have made her sick. I will go back to the coffee bar and take pictures of the plants there; maybe I can google them and try to find out what they are. I will also check my yard for any weeds or unusual plants.
I brought her to work with me this morning. She has never been to my office and is exploring like a normal dog. She has caused some loud noises (knocked stuff over), her reaction was pretty normal...cocking of the ears or a slight "twitch" away from the sound. NOTHING like last night.
I will continue to keep a close eye on her throughout the day; if I notice anything like last night she will be taken immediately to the vet. I will ask them to do a full blood panel as you suggested.
We were so worried about her last night; when in her "fits" it was like she didn't even know where she was, or who we were!
I feel like she is doing so much better already, but of course I am still worried and on the "look out" for odd behaviors.
Thank you so much for your help; I really never would have thought something she ate could make her so dillusional. I thought she was having a mental breakdown!
I will keep you posted on her progress!
