Question
MY SIX YEAR OLD POODLE (MINI 9 POUNDS)IS ACTING AS THOUGH HE HAS BEEN SCARED BY SOMETHING,HIDING UNDER THE BED AND WILL NOT COME WHEN CALLED, VERY LETHARGIC AND SHAKING. STOOL IS FINE AS WELL AS PEE.I CANNOT SEEM TO CONSOLE HIM IN ANY WAY I AM VERY CONCERNED AS YESTERDAY HE WAS FULL OF ENERGY AS USUAL.

Answer
Hello Carmine,
If your dog is still acting like this today, you might think about contacting your Vet.  Your dog could have had a seizure.  Keep checking your dog because he might start acting normal, then have another episode.  

I hope this helps you some.  If you have other questions about this or other questions in general, please feel free to ask.

I can also give SUGGESTIONS about general Health questions, but as I am not a Certified Vet, I cannot and will not diagnose illnesses. If you think that your dog is seriously ill, please contact your own Vet.
