Dog snorts, barks at something that isn't there... Hey guys... I've been here for about a month now in this new house and for whatever reason she just started barking and snorting into space like there's something there. It's night, and I have the TV turned on, but she's not barking at the tv, because when I went to the living room and into the kitchen-- I put a gate in between she started snorting repeatedly towards the living room and almost barked once. Now in the bed room she's fine but then she started snorting and even barked at the door. (the door is closed). But I don't get as she always is calm in my room. Now she calmed down again... but I feel like if she senses something. However, everyone is asleep and I don't believe in "ghosts/spirits". So from a scientific point of view-- I am wondering what's gotten her so... defensive. Her stance, her position, her snorts are in a defensive, dominant way. Not once did she direct it to me either. Also, took her to the vet for another round of vaccines. On the way there she threw up twice inside the car(thank jeebus I knew when she was going to and aimed her at the floor), then as we were parking in the lot she was about to puke again, and puked outside. Then the doc gave me a medicine for anytime to travel because of some motion sickness-- forgot what he said just have it written down somewhere else. When we go in the car and drive off 10 minutes later she starts throwing up and 5 minutes later she throws up one last time. The first two throw ups where yellow liquid which I assumed was bile (and he agreed that it was bile), the 3rd throw up was white and frothy which he explained but I forgot, the 4th was also white and frothy and the last one was more bile. I hadn't fed her prior to her appointment. Her appointment being at 2pm I knew she would had upchucked if I fed her because she did last time. So I only gave her some water before leaving. We came back 2 hours later (1 hour stuck waiting to be in and hour driving back). When we got home, she ate her meal without hesitation after I took her out. |
If she gets car sick try a booster seat. Cody is adopted, when I bought him home he threw up several times. I took him in the car a few times and he would get sick. So he only went in the car for vet visits which was quite often. Then I joined YT and discovered they sold booster seats for dogs. The one I got for him is elevated off the passenger seat. That was 3 1/2 years ago, he has not thrown up since then. In a booster seat they can see out of the window, and don't feel the motion of the car. It cost me a bit over $30. the best investment I ever made. My vet had also given me meds to be given 30 minutes he was to go in the car, I don't want to medicate my boy "just" to go in the car. I got mine in Pet Supplies. |
Fabian is nearly 5 months and does the same thing towards doorways and windows, both day and night. It started happening right around the time we noticed him really pouncing on his small stuffed toys and shaking them in his mouth. During the day, we look out and see squirrels, chipmunks, etc. where he's barking. We assume it's the same at night, as well as the bats we know we have in the area. It's just in their DNA to be ratters. |
My older girl Callie used to get really car sick. I got her a snoozer car seat and she actually does better after she has eaten. She also sits higher up in the van which seems to help. You might not believe in ghosts but I feel pretty good that's what she is barking at :D |
