We are going through what seems like the same thing.
My Chloe is a rescue dog and is approx. 6 yrs. old. We know nothing about her past but are concerned about her future. We have had her for two years and have fallen in love. She has had these attacks a few times but has had two in the last 3 days. She will be fine one minute and then seem to lose control of her legs and starts shaking. You can tell she is scared. I put her on the bed or couch and sit with her, petting her and talking quietly until the episode passes. Then she jumps down and is fine.
Any help would be appreciated |
Chloe may have epilepsy. It does tend to get worse so that may be why you are seeing more frequent seizures.
When was the last time she had complete bloodwork including a thyroid panel? You need to rule out other causes for her seizures.
My Lady is also a rescue and started having seizures soon after I adopted her at age 4.5. This website has been my "bible":
Canine epilepsy and diseases that cause seizures in dogs
