| My Yorkie is acting very strange , has yours ever done this ?? Not sure what is up with my Teddy, I left him for a couple of hours, and he is acting scared and skittish. He's walking around with his little tail tucked under his butt, and looking around all scared. Has this ever happened to anyone ??? He has done this in the past if he did something wrong like poop or pee in the house. And I looked everywhere, and I didn't find anything. I just feel really bad, and wish I new what was going on with him....

| Check to see if he's got some poo stuck in the hair under his tail, around his anal area. Soph acts like you're describing when she's got a poopy butt. I try to keep the hair trimmed pretty close in that area but sometimes she'll have an especially soft poo and it'll get stuck. |

| Kaji did this when I started working. It was his "you don't love me anymore" routine. It could be your baby just missed you and thinks he did something to deserve "abandonment." He gets over it for a while then starts all over again. He'll shake and make himself look real pitiful so I can comfort him and not leave. It worked for a while but I learned it's all an act. Just another thing that proves these little ones are smarter than we give them credit for!

| I didn't even think about that, as I never see him around cords. But I did check, nothing out of the ordinary. For some reason he just keeps looking at the front door, all scared. Like if he's expecting someone. Maybe he is mad at me for not taking him to the park. But he's been doing this for almost 3 hours now.

I ♥ Joey & Ralphie! Donating Member | This would worry me; he could be in some type of pain, is he eating ok? I thought a tail down could signal him being very frightened. I wonder if something happened by the door. He sounds really spooked. Could he have seen a spider or something? If he's not better by tomorrow, I'd call the vet; these little guys can go down hill so fast.

| I hope your little guy is ok. Sorry, I can't help with this as I haven't had any experience with this type of behavior. Please keep us posted.

| wake up? Castor Pollux wakes up from dreams in weird ways. he'll wake up growling or sometimes wake up scared (climbing all over me) Maybe your baby had a bad dream... Castor Pollux snaps out of it in 1 or 2 minutes... if your dog is still acting weird then my post isn't helpful and I'm sorry I hope hope hope hope hope your baby gets better. |

| This would worry me too as I believe he is tring to tell you something in his own way. He could be hurting, or something could have happened that scared him terribly and he is looking to you for comfort. Is it at all possible that a stranger was in your house. Your son's friend, or otherwise?

| My dog has done this several times. Once was when he heard large dogs chasing deer. When there is a weird animal close by, like a bear. I think something must have really scared him, but if he isn't better tomorrow, I would take him to the vet to be checked. |
