First post here and hope someone can help.
I have a 7yo Jack Russell x Staffie. Today he has had 2 'episodes'. Both times he has been laying on his right hand side on the sofa. It starts with a very high pitched and panicky scream, both times I've gone over and he makes no effort to move. This afternoon it passed very quickly, it was almost as if he had something in his throat and was struggling to breathe. I rubbed his throat and he seemed to recover to normal.
10 minutes ago he did the same scream, went on for longer. He was in a trance like state for about a minute (felt like an age to me) and didn't seem to be breathing. He then returned to normal, no noticeable disorientation following this episode. I am actually quite scared about tonight
This was totally horrid to watch. Here alone in the middle of rural Brittany with no vets closer than 45 minutes away
As I type, he has stolen a sock and putting it to death, normal behaviour has resumed at the moment.
