Our dog is almost 13, and she's a cur- mix: hound, retriever, shepherd. At midnight, we were awakened by a thud. She had crashed down onto the floor between my night table and bed (odd!). When we got her standing in the middle of the room, she was panting heavily and seemed out of it. She began this episode which continued for about 15 minutes: she would stare down at a place ahead of her, then she would jolt ahead with a few quick steps, as if she were lunging for something. Then she'd stop, stumble, turn around, pause, and do it again in a different direction. She refused to go "back to bed," despite our urging. Instead, she would walk into her bed, try to sit, and then she'd jolt forward again. Finally she slept, and this morning she was back to herself again. Prior to this, she's been on Rx to stop her excessive biting (of paws, legs, back, belly). She's been on Joint Max and Previcox (for her arthritis), but now she's also on fish-oil pills, benadryl, and Cephalexin.

You really need to get her into a vet asap. This has nothing to do with any of the medicine. This is neurological.

Maybe your dog would do better with an owner who don't have any other pets or kids. Im a dog groomer and at are shop we help people who cant care for there dogs for many reasons. I have seen people have to get rid of dogs because they don't get along with a dog or show aggression towards there kids many times. There vet would tell them to put the dog down but lets be honest are pets are like are kids and we would never want to do that. Just another option check with your local groomers. We would have the same pets come in for years and a pet would pass on and we would always have owners asking if we no anybody giving a dogs away they would take it. This happens a lot.

That's an awful chemical mix that she's taking. You might want to ask a pharmacist if he has any information on possible drug interactions with these product. You may have to take the packages along so that he can compare it to the human equivalent.
It certainly can't hurt to ask.
