Can anyone kindly offer me some advise / benefit of their experience. From time to time Spook has episodes of what I can only describe as sleep walking. It is only ever at night, but for the past two nights he’s been wandering about like a zombie at 3am,
it’s hard to explain what he is like, his eyes are like saucers and he wanders around and around, sometimes bumping into things, it’s like he doesn’t know where he is. He will stand if I smooth him but as soon as I take my hand off him he is off again wandering about. It goes on for hours. Last night he was up from about 2.30 – 5.30 just wandering about. Does anyone have any experience of this? Should I crate him at night? Do you think it might be a symptom of something else? Should I take him to the vet?
It isn’t every night by any means, he seems to have episodes of a few nights then is fine for months. I can’t think of any difference in his life, diet, surrounding that may cause him to be restless at night. He really doesn’t seem to be awake, it’s like he is sleep walking, is that possible?
Any thoughts much appreciated
