| Behavior Question I need help! I have a male yorkie that is not quite one year old. Today started like any other, and he was acting as normal as could be. I left in the afternoon like usual to go to my night class. When my boyfriend got home he called and asked what was wrong with the dog. He said he was acting strange. When I got home, I witnessed it myself. He has been running around rubbing his face and back on the rug and then take off running spastically and then stop randomly and take off again. I tried to put his collar on him to let him outside and he frantically backed away as if he were scared. He will also lay down and growl for about 2 seconds and then jump up move and do it again. I don't know what is wrong with him. Should I be worried?? Please help!! |

| Shots should be fine... I have an appointment next week for another round of shots, but they should be up to date. The only thing I did differently today was he got his flea/tick medication, but it was a new brand. I was afraid that might be the cause so I gave him a bath to wash it off. He finally went to sleep now, but it was very out of the norm. Maybe I'll call the vet tomorrow and take him in early. Thanks for your help! |

| I would check his ears. My MILs morkie will do that when he has yeast in his ears- he gets these infections about every 8 months or so. Good luck!

| He'll be okay! We just got back from the vet's office and found out that he had a severe allergic reaction to the off-brand flea medicine AND has ear mites!!! So he had to get a shot and ear drops... but he'll be fine with his meds and a little TLC!! Thanks for the help!
