Once again, my Brady is playing games with my head...Friday night, we had company and Brady acted extremely skiddish...the husband has a lab who loves to rough house and he can be little rough with ours. It's fine for Abby and she loves it, but Brady is a little sensitive...anyways, he didn't start getting skiddish until later in the evening but at that point, he was just sitting so hard on my feet, I could barely move and he was absolutely shivering!!! I thought he may be a little scared of the guy, bc if I was at the kitchen island and Brady was at my feet, if the guy called him, he would peer out from behind the island, then run back to my feet. At one point, he rnai n the family room and hid in the blankets on the couch...he NEVER leaves my side, so this was extremely wierd. But I just figured this guy was making him nervous I wasn't too concerned...maybe a past memory, maybe he was a bit too rough, who konws. After they left, he got extremely playful and was fine.
Yesterday, I was working in the mudroom so I just left the door to outside open so they could come and go as they please as I could see them the whole time. It got extremely windy in the afternoon and Brady came running in....he ended up dozing on their bed which I put near the mudroom so they could rest, but still see me. He was shaking when he came in, but again, I didn't think much of it, because he is always nervous about loud noises, and I figured the wind was upsetting him. But he was still shaking after he fell asleep.
In and of themselves, neither event is too significant, but a few nights ago, he went spastic chewing on the tip of his tail, I ended up giving him a baby aspirin and putting some lidocaine on it..he finally dozed but the skin was RED and it continued in the a.m....that has improved although I still see him chew on it for a moment here and there, but nothing significant. Taken altogether, should I be worried? We were in Vermont last weekend and we did find 2 ticks on him...anything that raises an eyebrow to you? Other than these events, he seems fine, his appetite is good (and he really shows his health through eating...he is extremely picky and it seems if ANYthing is off with him, he stops eating), he has been extremely playful with Abby and very happy...in fact, I keep laughing lately because he looks at me like, come ON let's play and I swear, he's smiling at me. Potty habits are fine.
