I'm so sorry to hear about your baby....
Our Silky Terrier started having seisures . They think it was possibly brought on by the heart worm shot...which was pulled off the market shortly after this happened. Jasmine, had to be on meds to stop them from happening. Her symptoms were..... First one: about midnight.... she started what sounded like a reverse sneeze.... but then I could hear other strange scratching etc. I turned on the light and she was flailing around and jerking. We held her and tried to talk to her. She had no balance....and disoriented. It was good a bit before she seemed "Back with us" Jasmine had quite a few...about a month apart even with the meds. Some would last a minute...some longer.
How old is your dog? They said it was fairly uncommon to suddenly show epilepsy to a dog that was 11.... so the vet felt it was brought on by the heart worm shot. I don't know, and I wish I could think of the drug they put her on. It did seem to help. My husband was so sick at the time and I had a chart for his meds and for Jasmine....but now I just can't remember... but it was a "People type tranquilizer Prescription" that my vet called into a local pharmacy. I would cut the pills with a cutter. I hope your baby is fine. Take care and good luck with your baby. |
