Sharpeigirl Posted November 24, 2005 Share Posted November 24, 2005 This probally isn't anything to worry about, but I'll just ask. Last night Sassy was lying in her crate and her entire back end was twitching. Like her muscles were haveing a spasm.. She wasn't acting like it was bothering her at all, but it scared me.. I just wonder if she overdid the exersice yesterday & pulled something. Or should I have her check by the vet.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
imported_Kat Posted November 24, 2005 Share Posted November 24, 2005 Was she sleeping? If she was just sleeping it was likely just our equivalent of REM sleep. I don't think it would have been a focal seizure if she didn't yelp or wake up disorientated after. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
courtnek Posted November 25, 2005 Share Posted November 25, 2005 both my dogs twitch while they sleep. dogs dream, and have REM sleep just like we do. twitching, leg running, whimpering is all part of it. If Sassy seems fine otherwise, I wouldnt worry about it. Maybe she was dreaming of catching a turkey for Thanksgiving.... 8) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
