My yorkie had a seizure I am so happy to find this site. My yorkie had a seizure yesterday. He had infection and by the time I got him to the vet he suffered his first and I pray last seizure. My son was home when it happened and raced him to the vet. He said he had convulsions and his head was so constricted it looked like his neck was broken. Needless to say I am so upset and my son is also. The doctor ran a battery of blood and urine tests and said all she can come up with is that his infection triggered this. He is 7 years old. Anyway today he is still week and does not want to eat or drink. I have been feeding him chicken broth with a syringe. The animal hospital said this would help. Is this normal that he will not eat or drink the day after his seizure? If anyone can answer I would greatly appreciate it. When we called the vet today she didn't act like it was unusual. She administered a shot of antibiotic yesterday and sent some amoxcillan home with him. Thanks for any info! |
I am sorry that you and your baby suffered through this. I hope he starts feeling better. I really don't have any answers, just wanted to let you know that you and Buddy are in our thoughts. Feel better Buddy! Thea and Roxee:aimeeyork |
Buddies Mommy I am sorry your Buddy is sick. Hopefully it will be taken care of with the meds. I am glad your son was home when it happened. I hope someone can give you additional information to help relieve your worries. I just want to wish him a speedy recovery. Perhaps some boiled chicken and rice might entice him to eat something. Keep us informed. Hugs to your Buddy from mine, |
Yes. It is normal that he may not be that interested in food today after yesterday's ordeal. Important though that he not dehydrate, especially if he is still battling an infection. How big is your Buddie? |
Thank you so much for your reply! Buddy is 5.6 pounds. It seems like he is coming out of this a little better. I am just so scared right now. He is drinking the broth well with the syringe. |
Thank you so much! I am so relieved to have found your site! |
poor poor baby wow, very sad and heart wrenching. Did they run any liver tests? Mine had seizures from hypoglycemia where kayro syrup rubbed on gums will bring him right out and seizures avoided all together with frequent mini meals just like humans. I had mine tested for liver with bile acid test inexpensive and I believe a must for EVERY yorkie. Check gums often if they are white/grey/blue....get food and kayro syrup/nutrical in him immediately. thats all i know about seizures besides epilepsy which there is no test for that. As far as seizures wearing them out, yes! They are exhausted! Do you give him nutrical? I highly recommend that if he is not eating. Please keep us posted on your baby, if you ever need to talk or anything just let us know everyone is here for you and this is a WONDERFUL site for support and info! You can always Private message for help too. ALso people even call others to lend an immediate ear...I know when Diggy was going thru this I was on the horn! Let me know ! Take care Give Buddy kisses! |

Thank you so much! I told my husband that this is a miracle I found this site. I have stressed so much since yesterday. I will keep you posted once I learn how to post. I think I am doing a reply correct and do hope you get this. Thanks so much. |
A former BF had a Yorkie several years ago that had been rehomed because the original owner abused him. (KICKED HIM:eek: which caused brain injury and subsequent occasional seizures. Had a Yorkie living outside in a pen!) He was a sweet little guy:aimeeyork and those seizures were horrible to watch. He was on meds off and on to control them. Sounds like either the infection itself or an accompanying fever may have attacked the brain. Make sure you get all his meds down him so he can get it cleared up. Also, would be wise to have him checked for hypoglycemia. If he isn't willingly eating or at least trying to eat by tomorrow, I'd call the vet. Especially since he needs to get his meds and keep them down. Good luck! |
The blood tests showed nothing that would cause this seizure. I am also thinking that the infection has caused this. I will definitely bring him to the vet tomorrow. I so appreciate you responding! |
yep your doing it right....I was the same exact way you are! There is NOTHING liek having a puppy seizure in front of you. I still get paranoid when he makes any kind of a strange sound! my name is Paula by the way...Paranoid Paula lol there is another Paranoid Paula in here I am sure she will post here for ya when she gets on....I turned to this site many many many nights. Crying, shaking, and then a nice person offered me her #, I called right away and we talked for about an hour....She just listened to all my rambling ?'s (10 times over lol) I felt sooo much better. I mean the vet helped but its just so reassuring to have someone who actually understands how special EVERY YORKIE is....True little :angelyork . And not think your completely nuts when you say....Id do ANYTHING for this fur baby! ;) How is he doing right now? Did you get to stay home with him today? |
Yes I work here at home so I get to be with him basically 24/7. I am going to get him right back to the vet tomorrow if I don't see a big improvement. This dog is family to me in so many ways. I told my husband to see him in such bad shape and to see my son who is 25 cry like a baby because he was here when the seizure happened the vet is going to be drove crazy by us for awhile I am sure! This dog is so loved and we are all praying that he recovers completely. Thank you so much for replying to me. It is a blessing to find this site today. God bless you! |
Well, hopefully your baby will be better very soon. And Yorkie Talk can be the silver lining in your cloud. :D I know it was for me. Stumbled across the site a few months ago when my pups (I say pup but he is almost 10:p ) was very ill for the second time in about 4 months. You should post some pix of your boy. YTers LOVE photos.:D |
Hopefully he is doing much better. You will love this place so many caring and knowledgable people here. |
