I have a 1yr old lab/husky mix who appears like she's hallucinating, although there are times where she's actually seen a small flying bug. Either way, she gets really terrified and runs to the front door or just gets a distance away and then stares intently at whatever she thinks she sees. I rarely am able to see what she is staring at. This started a few months ago and is getting progressively worse. Once something catches her eye, even if I can't see it, it's very difficult to calm her down to where she is able to be comfortable again. It is very upsetting to see her so terrified!
The only other odd behavior she exhibits is excessive licking. She is either constantly grooming herself or licking my husband and I in a rather compulsive way.The vet is rather expensive, but if that's what she needs I will take her.
Please, can u give me any idea of what is going on with my dog and what I can do to calm her?
