Wise Old Thumper
I havent seen this before but Starbuck was sleeping just now and doing a lot of twitching while he was sleeping.
It looked like he was sort of fitting :shock:
I have seen him flinch and twitch just slightly while sleeping - a bit like we do sometimes when we are drifting off to sleep. But this seemed a bit different.
His eyes seemed rolled in to his head and sort of blinking, his mouth was wobbling, his head was back a little, and his paws were flickering quite a bit, especially his back paw which flicked out a few times.
But it was not really bad, all quite subtle.
Has he had a fit? We touched him very gently to wake him up, and he sort of did but was quite sleepy, but then he seemed to miss a breath and not breathe for a few seconds. Then we woke him up properly and he sat up and seems fine.
He even came chasing Daddy for some treats, so we are not worried about him now.
Could he have just been in a deep sleep or do you think he had a mild fit?
