Wow, I can't remember ever hearing about a BP with this kind of behavior. It almost sounds like he may have had a mini stroke event. It's really interesting that being handled or touched seem to set him off.
Yeah, I'm not sure what a Vet can do other than rule out IBD.
Really sorry to hear about this, Alyssa. I hope someone with experience in this area can chime in. Maybe Skiploader has seen this before?
