| Has anybodies yorkie ever had a fit before? Hi everyone last night was very scary, my yourkshire terrior was in the kitchen when me and my other half heard her tiny poors scatering about, we ran in she couldnt stand up so my OH picked her up and she began to shake back and forth, I took her ran out side where i began to stroke her and talk to her and all her limbs were stiff as if they were in a spasum. I then bought her in the living room and sat down with her and when it passed about 30 seconds later she was back to her normal self.. she is also fine thismorning aswell.. Im unsure what to do really... has anybody had anything similar happen. It was a horrible experience as I thought she was going to die.. |

| Hi and welcome! I haven't had personal experience with what you described but based on everything I have read, your baby had a seizure. You should get her to your vet immediately!! Please let us know how she is doing.

| Hi I called the vet ealier and she said it does sound like she did have a fit, she said if she has another one to bring her down and to monitor how long it lasts for as she could have epilepsi.... So until it happens again I cant really do anything. Im hoping its a one off and it wont happen again, Im just giving her lots of love and affection.. I think its affected me more then her lol.. thankyou for your advice!! suzanne xx |

| I can only imagine how frightened you must have been. I have no experience with this sort of thing but I think I would be more insistant on that vet visit. Perhaps some blood work is in order. If it happened once I would think if would happen again, therefore, I would want to get to the bottom of it now. I don't want to frighten you but that's how I would think. Wishing your baby good health and never having to go threw such a thing again. |
