ourselves that we're seeing the symptoms we just read about...I think it's pretty normal to be a little paranoid about these kinds of things, partly because they're
so awful and we care a lot. Now if you see him looking up for a while & then corkscrewing his head like he cannot control himself and like he's dizzy, that's a
reason for concern...but not if he's just looking up.
I haven’t seen him corkscrewing or flailing about.
I’ve only noticed him do it once (looking up that is), so I don’t know if I’ll be able to catch him doing it again. But my mind always goes straight to the worst case scenario. For me to say I was a bit paranoid about stuff like this would be an understatement. (I would presume other people feel the same way).
I think we all know what the end result is if our BP’s managed to end up with something like this.
But ye if I catch him doing it I’ll try to get a video of him.
One more thing about the last bit in your post ‘looking up for a while’ how long would you that is?
Or is it just when looking up and flailing about the place then you should be concerned?
