Trying To Find Out What's Wrong With My Dog—He's Acting Weird

by Kelley

Our dog for the last 3 months or so has been acting weird. It started with him jumping/biting into the air at different times throughout the day/night and he would get really aggressive during these times. It is kind of like he looses his ability to see/hear us.

We took him in and showed the vet videos we took of him acting weird. The vet treated it as allergies (which he did have because he was licking his paws almost raw). But, since then his jumping/biting into the air has got worse. He will have an "attack" what we call it and freak out and run into things, fall, even slam his head into things.

We feel horrible and want to figure out what is wrong with our little guy. The other night it was pitch black in the house and he couldn't even see he was running into walls and I had to turn a light on for him so he could get into bed.

Also, he has really bad anxiety. I don't know if that is an underlying cause of what may be happening, but if you have any ideas please let us know.

Thank you.
