Hi, I wanted your opinion on a health scare I had with my six year old girl, Rubi. It has happened to her twice, 16 months apart one from the other. The first thing I noticed the first time was that she couldn't walk alright. It was like she had wobbly legs, like they walk when they are waking from the anethesia. She was real scared, with her eyes wide open and back and fore legs rigid and stretched out front. Her mouth was a little clampled and her gums palid. I thought she was having a seizure of some kind, like an epilectic attack or so. I called the vet but he was not sure what was wrong with her. The episode lasted around 20 minutes. When it was over, she was herself again, and was feeling happy and hungry.
Then, a couple of months ago. She had another episode like this but this time, she could walk a little better but her head turned to one side. I was real frightened because I thought she was dying now. It lasted shorter than before. She got her head right in a minute or so and she had skaky legs for a few minutes but she was not as scared as with the first episode. Again I consulted the vet but he does not know.
Rubi is a very healthy girl. She has had three litters without any problems at all. In fact, the third litter was born during the 16 month span separating both attacks.
I don't know whether you have had a similar experience, if so, please let me know. Thanks a lot.
