Since the incident 3 days ago, Ava was back to her normal playful self again. I haven't totally separated Ava and Zoe but I vigorously monitor them when together and would immediately stop them when playing gets rough.

Hope you find the answer soon. |
Hopefully its not as bad as a heat condition but will ask my vet about it. In 2 weeks time though Ava and Zoe are scheduled to take medications for heart worms.

Now given what you have described I think your vet should have done a complete blood panel, everything. Something is not right with your pup and if this happens again I would go immediately to the Emergency Vet in your area.
How old is this pup? How long have you had her? How much does she weigh?
There are many things that present with these symptoms from harmless to not so harmless. So answering you would be kind of like sounding an alarm without more information, I mean you can google this and come up with liver shunt, seizures, legge's perthes, cardiac issues, pulled muscle, hypoglycemia, torn acl, neurological diseases etc., and even the rare "emotional" a.k.a. drama queen syndrome! My grandfathers dog would literally faint when she was upset or super excited, Cookie was well cared for and lived to be just over 17 years old. |
Thankfully this has not happened again since the incident 3 days ago. Ava is 7 months old and weighs 1.15 kgs (about 2.5 lbs).
The vet first examined her spine and told me that her spine was okay. Then the vet examined if she can walk properly - it was also okay. Then CBC and blood chem was done, the results were again okay. The vet informed me that it found nothing wrong with Ava instead advised me to monitor the situation vigilantly for the next 2 days and bring her back immediately if this happens again. After that, she prescribed Ava with Vitamin B complex as supplement for nerves.
Yeah you're right. It can be anything from seizures, liver shunt etc. Even thought that Ava can be a drama queen at times, I'm quite sure though that what I saw was genuine since she collapsed and tilted the 2nd time around after I got her up.
