Jaxon, a three pound, seven month old teacup yorkie, has had a few seizures over the past month. At first, I thought it was his temperment, however, after looking into it further I am worried that he may have epilepsy, or a portosystemic shunt, or possible hypoglycemia. His seizures seem to be grand mal, afterwards he is very lethargic, as if he has been drugged. I believe that he may also have had, or continue to have Psychomotor seizures, he will run around in circles, really hyper and upbeat, almost as if he is chasing an invisible squirrel or something of that nature. He then becomes lethargic after many minutes of this running. He is having bloodwork done, and am expecting the results back next week. I was wondering what the best and worst case scenerios would be. I know that with the shunt he can have surgery, but if its not a shunt, what else might it be. I don't think it is hypoglycemia, as he has had a seizure shortly after eating. I am waiting for the bloodwork to come back, but am worried in the meantime... Anyone been in a similar situation? Also, if it is not a shunt, or hypoglycemia, could it be his diet? He eats organic store bought dog food, however it is premium and not mass produced as some other brands. I've been reading for days and days, and everything seems to be saying the same thing, wait and see, test and see, eliminate possibilities and see. The results can't come soon enough...
