Actually there is a diagnosis for ADHD in dogs but its more commonly called Hyperkinesis when talk about dogs. Also if your dog truly had Hyperkinesis you would probably see an improvement in it by using stimulants such as d-amphetamine. Symptoms you might also find is aggression, excessive salvation, separation anxiety, they usually have an increased/high heart rate, they are often more bothered by confined and small places, constant nervousness and other behavior symptoms.
@deltronin3030 Ah. I didn't know it was called "Hyperkinesis" with dogs. "Hyperkinetic Disorder of Childhood" is a previous name for ADHD. Lucy does have some separation anxiety and nervousness, but she was also abused before I adopted her. Do you have any articles you recommend on hyperkinesis in dogs?
@7466309change A week prior, Toby had a bout with a stomach bug. He was given an IV for rehydration. In the other parts of the video, he is healthy - just chilled out as usual. :)
@DocADHD Stomac bugs are nasty.I almost lost a dog cause that once.Glad he fine.Dog one is a happy one get along with my friskies here.No dull doggies here.
@7466309change Yes, it was quite scary. We took a trip to the vet emergency room. I won't go into too much detail, but it included Toby dry heaving in the E/R waiting room. :( But he's much better now!
She did run into the window once...she bounced off though, and was just a little startled. I think it was way more traumatic for me than it was for her!
so many . pardon typo.

I love the black dog just sighs and stretches while the other on is a nutball ever when sleeping. Great contrast in your household. Very funny.
