It sounds a bit like a balance problem to me, and change of position can have big problems. This is often caused by a virus so has to burn itself out.

It could be so many things and thats the problem cos even with humans its hard to diagnose.

I've got to take Zeta to the vet next week, so I may take Lacie too, or just have a word with the vet while I'm there.

I would, if only to put your mind at rest :hug:

I've never noticed any stiffness or anything like that with her joints Christine - she runs like the wind up the garden LOL! She's only 6 yrs old so wouldnt have thought it would be that, but possible I guess - it was her reaction to the box - but she kept jumping after she'd moved away from the box.

I don't think she was actually asleep before it happened this time - she was just sitting ont he rug - which actually is unusual because she doesnt normally sit there.

Today she's ok, perhaps a bit restless, and following me around, which again, isnt something she normally does, but that just might be she's indoors more, now its got a bit chillier outside. I've got to take Zeta to the vet next week, so I may take Lacie too, or just have a word with the vet while I'm there.

She couldn't have a touch of joint trouble causing her to stumble, could she?  She would blame the box, if she bumped into it.

she could just have been dreaming - but it could be low BP - which is not a bad thing in itself, as long as she doesn't fall in a dangerous way

Lacie's just had a funny turn

She was sitting/laying down (can't remember exactly) on the rug and as she went to get up she wobbled and swayed a bit, as she did that, she sort of stumbled against a cardboard box. Touching the box seemed to spook her and she leapt in the air, as she landed she stumbled but then jumped in the air a couple more times, stumbling each time she landed. It was all split seconds really, then she looked a bit dazed (and very suspicious of the box!). She got on the settee afterwards, absolutely fine, had a bit of a sleep and still seems fine. She's walking ok, not limping or wobbling now. Very odd.

Thinking back though, a couple of weeks ago, she was asleep on the settee and as she woke up she sat herself up, and wobbled and swayed (like she felt dizzy) - I didnt think anything too much of it at the time, just thought its like us sometimes if we get up quickly and feel a bit dizzy - but now after tonight I'm not so sure.
