fix the diet mol , dogs obviously lacking somewhere ????try feeding tomatoes into his diet , great for stoping cramp

No, more like it was gripping.

 

His head was down, as were his shoulders, from a distance it looked like he was eating something off the ground. Claws out, eyes staring, he looked terrified tbh. Woodga carried him to a barn, and i had to run over 1/4 mile to get the car. Just prior we had been caught in really heavy hail and ice rain. The wind was so cold last night you could not feel your fingers holding the lamp.....making me lean towards severe cold on a hot body causing cramps?

Took him over 30mins to come right, then it was as if nothing had happened, back to normal?

Bloods taken at vets today...all clear, got to get a urine sample when he has been working, so getting that tomorrow night
