Well, called the vet. He said...

possible to have personality changes as they age
could have been a tiny stroke
bad food causes kidney damage not personality changes
keep a journal for another week or so and note ANYTHING going on - normal or abnormal
Try to engage her with any activity
could try her on an anti-anxiety medication
let him know in a week or 2 what's going on

Soooo, guess we start Lexy's Medical Journal and try to figure out what's going on with her. ????????? Lot's of questions but no answers yet.

At least he didn't laugh at me or think I was a panicky mother. <G> But, didn't seem too concerned about her overall health. Tended to think it was just personality and that we needed to figure out what was triggering it.

Wait... Anything going on ?????? My husband has been sick. Limping from a pinched nerve, can't drive, lots of doc appts, also discovered Peripheral Artery Disease, has an arteriogram scheduled for Thursday of this week.
Could she be picking up on that? He's up and down several times a night with pain. Bless her bitty heart. Well, we'll keep track and see what comes of it.
