I just got back from the vet. They did a physical example and did not find any problems. When i explained the "Seizure" the vet told me this is not a typical thing you would call a seizure, it sounds like more of a metabolic reaction. He said it was possibly a hypoglycemic reaction to not having eaten enough.
Then he told me he wanted to do several hundred dollars worth of blood work to rule out cancer and liver shunt because seizures are a symptom of liver shunt. Moments earlier, he had told me my dog had not had a seizure.
I care for my dog very much, but I am a reasonable person. I don't need to spend several hundred dollars to find out my dog doesn't have cancer when I am 95% sure (and the vet is too from what he told me) that he doesn't have it. I told them that I would like to watch him for another day or two. If I see that he is getting better, then its very likely that it was hypoglycemia and I will be on the watch for that more. If he gets worse or doesn't improve, then clearly something else is wrong and i will get the needed tests then. I feel that vets are very premature to assume your dog needs to be tested for everything under the sun, this is something common in the medical profession as well.
After eating the afternoon, Toby rapidly improved. Drank much more, began to play with our other Yorkie Vespa and had a big rise in energy. Since then he is peeing, eating and playing. I think it is very likely that it was a blood sugar issue. I know some of you think I am a horrible dog owner for not rushing to spend all my money on bloodwork. I am not saying I WON'T get it, but common sense and balance should come in to play as well. I would have the same reaction to my own medical care. I hope very much that I see no further problems with Toby; if I do, I will take the needed steps and get bloodwork done.

I would like to thank all of you for your encouraging posts and helpful suggestions.

Thank You
