 Chilli Seizure. crisis. epilepsy?
Hello,
I live in Greece and I have a Yorkshire terie named chilli, a male . He is nearly 4 years old. 3 times in his life so far ( the third time was today, that is why I am writing this post), has had seizures. I do not know whether this is epilepsy or not.
Today I was so afraid he might die in my arms. It started with a vomit and then he started shaking, and saliva was cmming out of his mouth, he could not stand straight his eyes were staring in hyper space, his tongue was falling from his mouth in the side. I totally freaked out.
I hugged him and carressed him and talked to him slowly so to help him recover but it seemed to me it took ages. it lasted about 5 minutes. I thought this is it. he will die in my arms. this happens to him, once a year. but today was the worst of all.
Is this common with yorkshires? shall i take him to the vet? was it induced by an external factor? Was it beacuse of the vomit? did he ate something whil i got him for a walk? maybe he got frightened by something? the previous seizure was when he got frightneted by a guy last year. he saw the guy and started shaking all of a sudden, they told me later ,( I was not with him at the time,) but they described it to me exactly as I witnessed it today.
They took him to the vet, he did not mention anything about epilepsy at the time, he siad that perhaps he was not fed properly and he might have had a low blood sugar shock.
Searching in the internet for yorkshire- crisis - sezures- I found this forum

Please advice- i am really woried.
Thank you very much for your time and efforts for this forum
