Now when I'm in my room and on my computer desk he just stars under the desk for I don't know what as there is no reflection and I don't see a shadow. I have an extra bed for him there and thought there was a bug or something but there wasn't.
He just freezes in a staring position. What I do is block off his access with my feet and tell him leave it. Then he walks away. But then when he remembers he comes back and I tell him again to leave it. Has anyone had this situation occur with the starting? What did you do? I read horror stories online about people's pets and don't want him to become compulsion and obsesive.
Please give your thoughts if I'm doing the right thing or what else I can try. |
Is one locale worse than the other with the staring? How about when you are outside - where shadows play?
Do you have some puzzle toys that might distract him? Chew toys? Does he get a lot of exercise? If he is playing fetch does he get distracted by *shadows*? Will he stop the play?
His last eye exam was?
One thing you can do is keep track of the staring - frequency and duration of stare time.
A video is often helpfull to show the vet.
I would gather the data and take it with me on his next vet visit.
