| Some input, please? I'm not sure if I'm totally overreacting or not, but within the past 10 minutes, Wobie started doing something really strange. He keeps looking up, and back down, and up again. He was doing this constantly, but now he's stopped and taking a nap. I took a video of it, maybe someone has experienced this before? Should I be worried? Sorry the video's so short, my camera was running out of memory and cut off. I'm gonna try to take a better movie when he wakes up. You can see behind him the blinds that he ruined. He looks like a mess, but I groom him, I promise.

| I am not sure to be honest, but he could have something stuck... I hope you figure out what is wrong and let us know. |

| Tucker does this when: 1) he smells something (food) in the air 2)He feels like somethings on his head or has hair in his eyes. He doesn't do it for very long though, so if he continues to do this you may want to call the vet. Hope this helps! |

| Thats what I was thinking, that he was choking or something. But he seems to be breathing normally. I will definitely give an update when I figure out what's wrong.

| I don't want to overreact but I've heard of liver compromised dogs doing this. Did he eat recently? Maybe he smells something.

| Thank you, that does help. I've never seen him do anything like this, ever, so it definitely helps to know its a somewhat normal behavior. He did it about 5 minutes straight before he went to sleep.

| He's so cute! The video is so short that I can't tell that anything is wrong. Hopefully nothing is

| I agree. I hope he doesn't have something stuck, maybe in his throat??? If he keeps doing this I would call the vet. Sorry I can't really help you. Please keep us posted.

| As long as you are sure nothing is caught in his throat, you could probably wait til tomorrow but I don't want to tell you that and be wrong. I'll say it this way. I would wait. Please tell the vet about it though and take a video so they can see exactly what he was doing.

I'm hoping thats what it his. I tried looking down his throat, but I didn't see anything. He didn't like that of course. Thank you so much for your help.

| Thank you. It appears that it has become much less frequent, maybe once or twice a minute, so I won't take a longer video tonight.
