The last few nights Cesar has been going ballistic starting around 9 or 10 and it goes on all night long. He will run the entire house, into the bedroom with a sliding door-wall and to the living room, around the kitchen, back down the hallway and back into the bedroom just crying/moaning and barking. He will not stop and the first night it went on the entire night and he kept everyone up.

Last night I just grabbed him and held him down to my chest and didn't let him run and he just moaned and his heart was beating a mile a minute. Eventually he calmed down and just passed out, and then I just laid him next to me and he slept all night.

We have a deck in the back and he will run outside, and run all along the fence and to the deck and just bark like there is something there, but I looked and there's nothing there. Also, we have snow on the ground and there are no prints from mice/rats/raccoon, possum, nothing, just his little paw prints.

He does it every night and it's getting to be a problem as everybody has to get up for work early. Last night it took an hour for him to calm down on my chest and I don't want to do that every night.

I don't know if it's a lack of exercise, as he hasn't had a walk in about 2-3 weeks since we had a nice day. I don't know if anybody knows but here in MI we have had the coldest winter with the most snow and I just haven't had it in me to take him for a walk as it is very cold and I know for a little guy like him it will be too cold. In the spring/summer he gets two very long walks each day so he's usually passing out by 9 or 10 and now he is nonstop at that time.
