screeching and drooling and clinging to you like a cat with her claws.
Later she was extremely disoriented - like she didn't know where she
was - and just turn in circles. I took her to the vets and it took a week
for him to get all the blood work back and in the meantime, the same thing occurred exactly 1 week apart. I have her on the meds and she seems like she is not sure of life anymore - just staring and sleeping. I do
have another appointment with a different vet next week to get a second
opinion. But, was wondering if anyone has had any of these symptoms.
Thanks

get her to a neurologist NOW. This does not sound like epilepsy or low thyroid. My dog had a T4FREE of .38 and did not do that - circling and that kind of pain sounds like a neurological condition in her spine that can progress further. I am going to post a couple threads BRB

turning in circles, disoriented, and pain sounds like GME and it can happen to a dog at any age. Sorry i missed your post earlier

what meds is she on now?

here is the thread please read through
