Seizures can be a reaction to vaccinations. I would check with your vet...be sure to document the time and chain of events so you can fully explain it to your vet. Here is a website that is absolutely wonderful and filled with information regarding seizures:

Canine epilepsy and diseases that cause seizures in dogs

Hopefully you won't need it in the future but if you do you will find it to be an invaluable resource for you and your baby.

Good luck...I hope it was just a small reaction to her shots and nothing more.

She lost control of her bowels and after a minute she started to slowly start moving first her back legs, then her front legs and then after about 5-6 minutes she sat up. She was really out of it so I ran her to the ER vet and they said she had a grand mal seizure, Please keep us posted.

This is exactly what Darcy does, it is a sound that no doggie momma wants to hear, and is just terrifying. Worse, they can happen for obvious reasons (the first time she spotted a large dog and got too excited), or they just happen out of the blue.

I hope there is nothing serious, some pups get sore and get a fever depending of what type os shots they get,

Yea, well if she's eating real good then she probably is okay. When they are sick they won't eat at all and since they are so small they go down hill quickly. I would just keep your eye on her and if she isn't filling better by Monday take her back to the vet.
If she has another reaction I would take her to the vet or 24 hour hospital immediatly.

oh, and how many shots did your vet give her. Some vets will give em a shot in every leg. If she had multiple shots this may be to much. Next time make sure you only let them give one or two and make 2 visits out of it. If this is the case.

I hope she is okay. My Pit always has really bad reactions to shots. We have to medicate him first usually.

I honestly don't know how many he gave her because he asked if I wanted him to take her into the other room. Which I did, because I couldnt stand to see her in pain. She has a quarter size swollen spot on her left hip where I am guessing thats where he gave her the shots. I thought that should have gone away by now though. She seems to be acting a little better. I may be overreacting. I just can't stand to see her hurting or feeling bad.

To answer someone else, she is 3 1/2.
I have definitely been babying her. She hasnt left my lap!

I just love my baby so much! Thank you for all the responses. I will keep you updated.

All you can do is watch the pup, if she's doing better now don't panic. Even if it was a seizure there is really nothing they can do short term. If they persit, like at least one a week they would put her on medication. It was probley just stress from the shots, going there and the trauma of getting them. Hopefully this will just pass for you and all will be fine! That's alot for a tiny little dog. Just watch her really close and if it happens again hold her tight so she dosn't hurt herself. Hope all turns out well for you.
