3 months ago we adpopted a 4 year old terrier cross from the lost dogs home. She is usually a nervy dog and jumps when she hears a loud sound or if you make any sudden movements around her. Tonight my mum was sitting with her on her knee watching TV, she said she was perfectly calm and then all of a sudden she started looking up towards the roof, her eyes really wide a starring, and she started to shake and wipe her paws over her eyes. When we put her on the ground she couldn't walk very well (which makes me think it may not be panic attacks, but something more serious) she started to stagger and wobble. She spent most of the day in my bed which is highly unusual, but we thought this may have just been because I went back to work today after a long period off, and she may have been missing me. After abot 10 minutes she was okay again. Any idea what this may be? Any serious answers appreciated.

She hasn't been near any posions that I know of. We took her to a vet but he doesn't have a great rep, and sort of rushed us in and out without really checking her, but he was the only one open so we had to go there.

We definately know better than to give her chocolate as our neighbours dogs died after stealing and eating a whole easter egg :-(

Just to remind everyone again, we did take her to the vets straight after it happened, but isn't a trusted vet in our town, and he didn't really check her at all, then they shut, but he was the only one open tonight
