Hi
We have my mother in laws dog at the moment as they are away. She started getting really restless and running up to ds and down stairs to where i was and then barking at me and doing the whole thing again. This went on for aboout 5 mins or so and then DS who has asthma had an attack. I think she must of known something was wrong but how i dont know.

wow what an amazing and perceptive dog

seizure alert dogs are able to tell their owners when a seizure is imminent. i find this amazing.

aww she sounds like a lovely, caring dog

ds has asthma and one of my dogs stays right next to him when he is poorly. i think it is very sweet

This story actually brought tears to my eyes!
It's very, very moving and interesting - dogs are such amazing animals.

What a lovely story.
My Molly used to always snuggle up to me with her head on my lap, whilst we were having our fertility treatment, as though she was wishing for it to work.

What a fab dog! I think dogs are really sensitive to breathing issues - I remember once as a child I was mucking around with my friends and buried myself in the cushions of the sofa like I was drowning, and our spaniel went BALLISTIC.

I really hope your MIL's dogs aren't triggering the asthma, which would be a bit self-defeating for the clever doggie!

Hi sorry i havent been on here been busy with ds.
Ds is doing ok thanks chickchickchicken. Still a bit chesty biut not to bad.
It not the dog triggereing his astma as he is always around them and we have a puppy.
The dog hasnt left ds side and she is lying on the floor next to him at the moment and any slight cough or movement she is right up to check he is ok. She is such a lovely dog and all her children are as well(one of which is our puppy)
