I have a 4 year old Yorkie, Princeton, who is having "episodes" and we are not sure what they are. We are seeing a neurologist next week.
They started last year, 1 month after he had acute pancreatitis. His lower body will arch, shaking, and his back leg will become tense and go up. I have added a link to the video I took. Generally this will last 2 of him shaking, followed by 5 minutes of him panting and lying flat on the ground, and then at the end he will throw up.
I have noticed that when I am out of town and come back, he will have this type of episode, so not sure if it is stress related. He has had blood work done and everything came back perfect.
I stress because I do not like to see him go through this, and if I knew what it was and what caused it, then I'd be relieved. I don't want this to shorten his life span either.
If any of you have gone through something similar let me know!
