Last night (well, around 2.30 this morning) I woke up to Puck making noise at the foot of the bed. It sounded like she was pawing at a plastic bag so I told her to stop. Then the boy woke up and heard her and told her to settle down and the noise continued. I crawled to the end of the bed and kinda felt around on the floor and felt her laying there and kind of twitching. Freaked me out. I got up and turned the light on and she was just laying there, legs extended to front and back, slobbering all over the place with her tongue hanging out. When I touched her face, she jumped and tried to turn her head to look back at me but couldn't. She had that deep stare dogs get when they're freaked out by something. Poor girl. I spent about 30 seconds rubbing her neck and back and telling her she was ok and she started to relax a little. She finally was able to get her legs under her and she tried to snuggle up to me. She looked so panicked. After a few more seconds, she was able to get up so I took her outside, where she proceeded to freak out more and tried to run back inside. I stood out there with her for a few minutes and she just kept looking at me with that scared expression on her face. I let her back inside and she wandered around a little and then wanted to go back outside.

Anywhoo. Freaked me out a tiny bit because she's never had a seizure before and at 7 years old, it's a bit out of place. The possible causes are pretty wide ranged. Could be something she ate out of the trash or something in her regular food (preservatives). Could be rat poison or bug poison that she licked off something. Or that was in the squirrel's HEAD that she ate a week or so ago. Could be a blood sugar issue, tho I think that's unlikely. Who knows. I s'pose if it happens again, I'll take her in to have her head examined for all the hoo-ha that could be going on in there.
