How scary...hopefully if it was a seizure, it was just a one time thing. I'm really glad you're going to do bile acids, that's very smart. |
It's not a dumb question at all!
I really wasn't sure at first since I've never seen a seizure before. But I youtubed some videos about it and what he was doing wasn't really like what I was seeing there- youtube had videos where the dog would tense up and spasm and shake a bit. Witten was more of a rocking/swaying motion. But I researched it a bit and talked to my Vet about it and he's pretty convinced it was in fact a seizure, albeit a mild one (thankfully!)
I wondered if it was a dream until he picked up his head and started rocking with a dead look in his eyes. Then when he stood up and started trying to vomit, I was pretty much positive.
I'm definitely doing the bile acid, though I wish we could afford it right away, but the Vet doesn't see a problem in waiting a couple weeks if he is seizure free. I really want to believe his liver is fine; he came from an excellent breeder with very healthy dogs, but I know I have to be vigilant in his health. We would be completely devastated if anything happened to him.
