I have a 2 year old Yorkie that is ready to deliver her 2nd litter. With her first litter, she had a seizure the week before whelping. When tested it was determined that it was the result of a low calcium level and was treated with Calsorb. To be safe she had a C section. She would not nurse her puppies and they had to be raised by another female who was lactating. She never had a seizure before then and never had one since UNTIL a week after I bred her the second time. This time I took her to my local vet who said all of the bloodwork was fine, implication being its epilepsy. Needless to say, I would not have bred her if I thought this was the case. Later in the pregnancy I took her to a reproductive specialist who claims her Calcium is low again and is being treated with Calsorb as I write this. This vet claims that the other vet did not run the kind of calcium test needed to be sure the problem was not calcium related. Therefore, assuming it is epilepsy and not a calcium problem is premature. I plan to have another c section next week. Has anybody out there experienced any thing like this? Obviously I will have her spayed if we cannot determine for sure what the problem is. Sally
