My dog was sleeping and breathing funny so I was looking at her to make sure she was alright. Then she started growling, opened her eyes (but wasn't looking anywhere- they were blank), then almost bit me.
She's a year and a half old; from an abusive background. She'll regularly growl in her sleep (a distance away from me so I'm not disturbing her) and breathes heavily at times. Sometimes she'll begin violently shaking in her sleep too. There's rarely whimpering, but it has happened.
She's entirely non-aggressive around people, but slightly food aggressive around dogs.
She sleeps in bed with me at night and uses the pillow beside my head. After tonight, I'm not sure if I should be taking more precaution. It was really out of character. I've had her for about six months.
Edit: She's been to the veterinarian recently and had xrays. She's in perfect health- physically.
