I posted last December in this thread:

about Badger having what we thought was a seizure.
The same dumb unsupervised dog wanders through our yard almost daily. It's a nice dog and all, but no collar and I have no idea who it belongs to. This morning for some reason Badger got really worked up about it again, and had another episode.
Of course, it's Sunday, so we weren't about to haul him to the emergency vet when we knew he would be ok in a little bit. But still, it's scary!!! I feel so bad for him when he gets all worked up like that.
And this time it was a bit worse as far as him losing control of his bodily functions for longer, and to a larger degree. There was lots of throwing up and pooping/diarrhea, way more than a year ago. And he was unresponsive/tongue hanging out for longer. In general though, the events transpired in the same order as last time. Sorry if this is gross:
1. Got upset about dog in yard - I chased dog away, Badger followed me around crying/upset
2. Starts walking around like he is losing control of bowels, dragging butt... at this point I had a pretty good idea where things were going unfortunately - I take him outside where he proceeds to puke all over the yard, looks like he has to poop but doesn't/can't
3. Bring him back inside, he sits on lanai and won't come in house - poops all over lanai and then sits with tongue hanging out of mouth
4. Coax him into bedroom to see daddy - poops in bedroom - lays down beside bed with daddy petting him - does not respond to name, etc for probably about 15-20 minutes. Breathing funny.
Shortly thereafter he started responding to us talking to him, rolled over, sprawled for a while on the bedroom floor. He finally got up and wandered out of the bedroom about 1/2 hr later and has been laying around doing not much of anything for the rest of the day.
He tried to eat a greenie a couple hours after the incident and it made him sick again.
I am annoyed by the whole thing - it's not like this happens to him all the time, it's only been these two times and BOTH TIMES HE WAS UPSET ABOUT THE SAME DOG being in our yard. It just annoys me that someone else not being responsible for their pet is causing our baby to have problems.
