Do you think it was a seizure she had when coming into your room with glazed look and back legs going out? usually seizure is spaced out look and then fall on the side and go stiff (petit mal) and then there is fly snapping and then there is convulsing (grand mal)
The one that concerns me is walking on trail and then back legs giving out. The one in bed room could be seizure as when demi had petit mal she stared straight and was glazed but her whole body was stiff and she laid on side and went stiff. This was after rosemary chicken but 12 hrs after as dogs can seize from rosemary i found out.
I have not seen a dog with mvd seizures but honestly with those numbers that low on bats i really doubt it. DD had higher numbers than that and she was on raw diet which is high protein and never acted like that but anything is possible.
You could try to do 18% protein and give it a little time but if on 18% protein and this occurs with back legs again I would get to a neurologist.
I hope it is just food related as that is an easy to fix |
Yes, it was within 2 hours of eating - about 2 hours exactly. Her wellness dry is 20% protein. I gave her about a tablespoon of canned wellness turkey - it says protein not < 8%. Ok, I gave her a big tablespoon.
OH, and she is a poop eater - though that has slowed down but she might have gotten some of Ringo's poop in the backyard yesterday; I just do not know. Have cleaned up back yard just in case.
Lucy did not have a seizure as you describe with the stiff body and falling over. She does get the spaced out look; then she has difficulty standing on her back legs especially. She does not fall over stiff.
I'm going to try to find that vegetarian food after work. She IS a picky eater and hence the canned food on top of her dry. But if I can find a little something to spice it up - like the baked cod - might work.
Still waiting on the freaking vet to call me back!!! Usually he's fantastic about that. Off to check on Vet.
