The fits while scary for us last a shorter time now that the vet advised that what to do. When a fit comes on we sit with him on the cold kitchen floor with his stomach on the cold ground. We then use as damp wash cloth and rub him down in a stroking motion. You don't want to drowned the poor dog just get his temperature down. As the fit subsides we rub him off with a towel. The key is to remain calm and talk to the dog the entire time.
Once he is clear of the fit we give him a bit of fuss and then he will normally sleep for a while. I don't know if this will help any of you but it has changed our dogs fits for the better they last a much sorter time and he comes out of it much quicker. |
What testing has been done ? and has an MRI been done ? Blood tests ? There are conditions that Yorkies can have & without proper & prompt treatment the pup will suffer & die. Here are some things you can research Chiari, GME, AAI & Liver Shunt. Welcome to YT ! I pray they do the proper tests on your baby & get a deff diagnosis so your baby can live a happy healthy & pain free life.
