Tough stuff, Dave...hang in there.

Thanks  for the advice, Quaker.  It's something I had not even considered. 

I was going to take the boy to the animal ER this morning, but he seems to have made a near-full recovery. 

He's gone through these sorts of episodes two other times before, and the vets then weren't able to come up with a cause. 

This time it just seemed worse, and he had me seriously worried.  But, he's back to near-normal activity levels so I don't know what to do.

Rest assured I have filed your idea in the old mental Rolodex (anybody even know what those things are anymore?).  And I do appreciate the thought.

Roladex ?
It's what people used way back before the PDA was invented.
You carved names, addresses and smoke signal numbers into a clay tablet and rolled them around in a wheelbarrow.

I'd go ahead and call one. I probably get a rate from my guy because I was his client for years before he started the house call thing. But, I do know that when I need him he's there, kind of like the vets in the James Herriot books. When my last dog died, he showed up at 9 at night to take the body away as he'd treated her for a heart condition for five years. I doubt he'd have done that if I hadn't been a steady customer. Just ask the guy to come and do the rabies/kennel cough thing and do a physical. That way if there's an emergency, it won't be the first time he's hearing your voice. Just a thought.

A vet that works with horses would be a good start.  They're used to doing house visits I'd expect!
