Our lil yorkie having seizures! I found this site while trying to get info on seizures. Our 3yr old 2.4 lb. yorkie Gracie had 2 seizures today. She has had what we thought were hypoglycemia related episodes before but has been months apart like once or twice a year which I mentioned to the vet last time she was in and he did not say much, seemed to agree that it could be that since she is so tiny. I was not too concerned b/c the last time I gave her sugar water and she stopped and was lethargic but seemed to be fine after that and it has not happened in a long time, but then she had one earlier this afternoon. It lasted probably a min or two but she seemed to improve after the sugar water and she immed. went and ate and then later as she was lying in front of couch she started to convulse again. She was panting like crazy, legs shaking, spazzing out and scared me to death! This lasted about a minute and she was sorta disoriented and tired and I held her on the couch and petted her and kept checking to make sure she was okay.
I plan on taking her to the vet but was wondering if anyone else has any expreience with this, it is very scary and I worry alot about her b/c she is so little. She took a tumble off the couch-long story but she was asleep between my mom's legs and she forgot she was there and got up and she fell. She was startled but acted okay and did not seem to be hurt so I am wondering if that could have anything to do with this? That was on Thurs. eve. and she did not seizure until this afteroon.
Sorry so long, This just makes me crazy b/c I am worried about her.
Thanks,
