Yes, I went to a CPD event on Wednesday that mentioned this and I immediately thought of my patient! Will try that.

Thanks for that, Eleanor- I didn't know that, and I currently have a fly-catching patient, so I'll definitely have a look into that!

Ask for a week's diary from owners - family structure, who does what, dog's daily routine, feeding times and what fed, treats, walks etc. Also times, duration of episodes with video of dog in evenings. Ideally video at other times over the 24 hours too. Run a routine screening bloods and if all that normal, and nothing stands out in the diary/video - refer to behaviourist. If you don't do all of the above first, behaviourist will just bounce it back anyway.
