Maybe she was bitten by a spider? Those big housespiders can nip! She is obviously associating something scary with that end of the living room, but it could be a while before you find out. I had a similar thing happen with Sweep once, and it turned out to be the sound from my mobile phone. He must have very sensitive hearing, and doesn't like some noises. I changed my phone and he is fine with the one I have now. I think it is some of the piercing noises in some ringtones. Hope you find out what it is that has upset her, but it took me a while to realise what upset him.
The mobile phone thing sounds familiar. Meg has had a few episodes of shaking and obviously being scared of something, but I've had no idea what. On one occasion it turned out to be my mobile which was in my bag and was beeping because the battery was running down. Another time it was a smoke alarm in the next room giving an intermittent beep because the battery was low - I didn't even hear it, but Meg obviously did and was terrified of it.
If there's no noise you can think of is there anything casting moving shadows or anything shiny reflecting lights on the walls or ceiling? I sympathise, it's awful when you know they are scared and you don't know how to help them :luck:

My Ebony does that sometimes. She stares up at ceiling and tries to get out of the room as if there is something after her.
We thought maybe she was seeing ghosts, but it turns out its flies, even the most tiny ones that you can hardly see.
She especially hates those little ones that make a whining noise. Hope you find out what it is.

Thanks for all the replies she seems to have settled a bit now and not so scared and has gone down the other end of the room ,so im hoping its just somthing silly like shadows or somthing ,wel see how she does tonigh il watch her closley all day and night to see if anything triggers it off again,thank you for all the tips

Nicky my advise is whe she acts like this just ignore her, otherwise it will make the situation worse,she will lavish the attention for acting daft and then you run the risk of it just becoming habit.
maybe try sitting that end of the room when shes acting silly and play with the other dogs, or offer treats... even feed her there might be worth a try
hope she gets sorted

She could have seen a spirit ,my cat once went crazy with something in the hallway,he wouldnt leave the room until he knew it was gone whatever spooked him . :unsure:
as julie said dont pay any attention to her .

The thing that is scaring her may not be at that end of the room ... we had a problem with Tolly avoiding the corner of the kitchen because from that corner he could see through to the new light in the hall ... took us ages to work it out as he wasn't bothered by it when he was in the hall ! Hope it was a one off with Lily
well she much better this evening whatever it was its gone now ,thank god was horrible seeing her so scared ,oooo trish you put the willies up me now il be looking for ghosts everytime one of them does anything like that again ...was so wierd as nothing happened she was fine on emin and the next a blubbering wreck all the others were fine so whatever she saw only she saw it :unsure:
