Hi, I'm new to this site but I have to ask an important question. My Yorkie is 4 years old and over the last 2 weeks has been showing signs that he is not seeing things correctly. Sometimes he'll run into things and when I give him a treat or anything it's like he can't see it and has to sniff around to find it. I know that dogs can get cataracts but I don't see anything wrong or different with his eyes.
The real emergency is that just this afternoon my Yorkie started limping around funny and wouldn't use his front right leg. While he was doing this he started foaming at the mouth. I think it might have been a seizure, but I don't know if I should take him in anywhere to get checked out or if he'll be okay.
If anyone can help me with these two problems I would be very grateful. Thanks so much!!!!!!!!
