Please note I started this thread under CECS in a Yorkie, I watched videos of dog seizures after leaving the emergency vet Friday night and though Elvie did nothing like that until i watch a video of a dog with CECS. Elvis has been dignosised with "cluster seizures" well diagnoises with epilepsy but the vet kept saying cluster seizures because there are variations. Has anyone had a Yorkie with this, know someone, anyone had or same a Yorkie who had very weird seizures...Elvis first started with his legs straight out the joints did not bend, I looked and though OMG are his legs broken? But he immediately began to lose motor control all together as he attempted to run to me, he went sideways and back staggering, his back arched up like a cat's when it hisses (that was the hardest part to witness there is no way he did that voluntarily nor comfortably) I grabbed him and every muscle in his body was a tense as could be--rock hard. He stayed that way for about three minutes and was responsive to me however his muscles contracted so hard he couldn't move, a couple minutes later it started again only this time after his back went up and his legs went straight out his little head went very slowly from right to left as far as it could go like he was slowly saying no, that lasted a few minutes I was frantically holding him searching for the vet's number (if you are reading this put your vet's number and after hours number on speed dial trust me) and looking for the emergency vet, Elvis began to have a third seizure he went over to his side and legs straight out while he looked at me and began to shake slightly. Obviously at this point I just grabbed him and went out the door to the closest vet's office down the road (I had a blanket over him out of instinct so glad I did). Every time I previously had seen or heard of a seizure someone almost always looses consciousness, can loose bowels or bladder control, foam at the mouth and shakes horribly...never have I seen one where the muscles literally tense completely and cause a virtual paralysis...anyone? For those of you who have never seen it, as I was before this, sorry for the drastic description. Elvis appears to be fine now, althoguh a few times he has began to shake and get very tense but nothing liek the first three times, the vet says seizures can vary in degree and Elvie can either begin to have them everyday, never again , or who knows from this point. I have a referral to a neurologist @ UC Davis...I just want to hear form some people who have seen their dogs do this or another, and find out if they experienced the little mild episodes as seizures too and wheat they have sought as treatment. I do have him on a raw food no beef diet now. Karo syrup ready, but I don't get clear directives until the Davis diagnosis.
