My little Cricket had syncopal episodes due to CHF/mitral valve/CT issues. It would happen when she would get excited. Her front legs would get stiff, she would eventually fall over w her eyes open. Calling her name would help bring her out of it. It was from lack of oxygen. If you looked at her gums they would be purplish/blue. At first I thought it was seizures, but the vet said w the gum discoloration, body temp, it ruled out seizure and made it syncope. Also, Cricket on abdominal x-rays had a build up of fluid in her abdomen (CHF). She also had a new heart murmur.
I don't know if this sounds like your pup's symptoms or not.
I would definitely take your pup in for an exam if he has not had one recently just to make sure you are not starting to develop CHF issues and it is probably a neuro event.
You may want to take the pup right after the event so the vet can see his appearance afterward while you are waiting to see a neuro dr. If there are no CHF issues, I would definitely be worried about seizures. And also video events. |
