I'm happy to say that Sparky is back to his normal (for him) happy, bouncy self. We have a routine when I get home from work. After I ditch the shoes and jacket, I let him out of the bedroom and he gets in my lap for some pats and fussing over. When he came bouncing out of the bedroom this morning and got in my lap, I was so happy to see him feeling like his old self, I started crying. I was so scared for him last night. My husband told me that whatever it was with him, lasted about another 20 minutes after I left for work, then he was fine. He said he picked him up, without being snarled at, and put him in bed. About 2 this morning, he said Sparky woke him up doing his "I gotta go out NOW" dance, and he was fine. I called the last 2 vets in the county that we haven't seen yet. (I"m as picky about vets as I was pediatricians.) One is out of town for 10 days and the second choice was not a big help when I called them. Said they would actually have to see the incident when it was occurring. I asked about a blood test to look for anything toxic and they said they could do that. Then they told me that their new patient fee was $325 and the blood test would run another $150. I said thank you and hung up. I'll wait for the first choice to return and see if she will work with us on the fees. She used to work with our vet that moved, so she knows us.
JD, funny you mention dogs getting cramps. Sometimes Sparky sleeps all knotted up like a pretzel and a couple of days ago, we had been talking about that and wondering if it was good for his spine and muscles to sleep that way.
