Thank all of you who have replied! this has been my 1st episode of anything major happening and I own 3 Tiny yorkies.
We couldn't get her into our emergency vet, so we discussed it over the phone and I was recommended valium. So we gave her a very small piece off the corner of 1 and administered nutri-cal several times. She is 3 years old and weighs 3.8 lbs.
What concerns me though is that she had this seziure like episode for about 3 hours, really scary,constantly jerking, and it seemed as though she could barely use her hind legs she could stand and use the front legs but the back she was having trouble with, but no matter what she was doing - moving-laying-standing- she was jerking fast constant for 3 hours. I was searching all my books, calling people,and vet and emergency vet, the web then stumbling across this forum-which the response and concern has been wonderful!
but after about an hour of giving her the med. she began to calm down and quite jerking, I am still very scared wondering if it is going to start back up again. This is my daughter's yorkie, she is 9,and scared that she might die.
But now that she is calm and sleeping my little girl is fine.
I am still so very concerned!
She is still very lethargic, but I am unsure of wether that is from the med's. or just tired or?
Any Helpful Suggestions and Knowledge would be warmly welcomed!
