Chinese medicine calls this "rebellious qi", which seems to fit what is going on with her.
Does anyone know of someone who does acupuncture on animals? I'll be heading up to Ocala to Earth Origins to see if that health food store knows of anyone up around there.
Just looking for help in solving this, regarding my dog, so please don't send me sarcastic comments. I just am looking for some help and appreciate it. Thanks.

I don't know if you ever found someone to help your dog or not. I hope you have. I can't tell you from experience anyone in the area that can help. I did a quick google search "homeopathic acupuncture vets" and some vets came up, but I don't know anything else about them.
Thirteen years ago we lived in SE Florida. We took one of our dogs to a homeopathic vet in Stuart Florida to get a 2nd opinion. Our vet had given her 6 months to live. Stuart Florida is about about 3 hours from here. Our dog was 11 years old at the time and her heart wouldn't have been able to take surgery, and the other treatments wouldn't work for her. For what it's worth here is a link to the vet we used.

This homeopathic vet was unable to help our dog. However, he took the time to talk to me about helping our other dog (who wasn't with me at this visit) about her severe allergies. And the information he gave me did help our other dog, along with other research my husband did at the time.
I'm sure you've already thought of this but have you introduced anything new to your dog's diet? Has anyone else in your household fed your dog anything? Has your dog gotten into anything in your yard that could be causing this reaction? Has your dog gotten loose by mistake?
I wish you all the best with this and I hope by now your dog has recovered.
