 Seizures with yorkies???
Is anyone here familar with yorkies having seizures? We have a 2 year old female yorkie who is 4 lbs. We have never had any problems with her health EVER. Even the vet was surprised because of her small size. But, overall, she's been a GREAT dog and always healthy. But, yesterday something really strange happened. I can't figure out what happened. I got home from work and my boys were home all day. I walked in and one of them was holding her and she jumped out of their arms because of me being home (he was standing). He said she hit her head on the arm of the couch (very soft arm). She went down the hall instead of to me and then all of a sudden she was scooting around on the floor with her head down. She was shaking really bad and couldn't use her front paws, like they were limp and she was using her hind legs to scoot quickly around the floor. Like she was freaking out. I picked her up, and her eyes looked like they were unfocused (hard to tell, very dark eyes). Her ears were pulled back, and I couldn't get her attention. I held her through it all. It lasted for about 10 minutes that she couldn't use her front paws. They were pulled up toward her body, but limp feeling, if that makes any sense. I was scared! I was suppose to take my oldest son to the ortho. and there was no way I was going to leave her at home, so I grabbed her leash and took her with me. She curled up on my lap all the way there, no sound what so ever. But, by the time we got there (20 minutes later), I took her for a short walk in the grass to go potty, and she seemed perfectly fine. I left her in the car while we were in the ortho and she started whining, which is totally normal, when I leave her in the car. So, she seems fine now. Just totally freaked me out. Any suggestions? Thanks a bunches! |
