HELP - please LOOK at this!! I need you guys to look at these two videos of my little boy Murphy. He has been having these (what I call) tremors for a little while now and now they are getting worse. He used to have problems when he was a puppy and had hypoglycemia so at first I thought it was just that but now they are getting worse and seem to immobilize him. The vet I take him too ACTUALLY told me I was over reacting when I asked about it and so now I am PISSED :mad: :mad: beyond belief and taking him in to a new Vet Saturday morning. I just spoke to his breeder who said what she thought it could be. She is so sweet and trying to calm me down and help me figure out what could be wrong with my baby boy. Most of you who know me ... know I LOVE my Murphy boy and it is just killing me that something could be wrong with him. I am praying PLEASE GOD let him be okay. Any one know what this could be or seen their baby do this? :confused: Please pray for us!! Sorry for my voice in the video I was trying to calm him down since I was filming him instead of holding him like I normally do when he has these attacks. I needed video of it so I could show the Doctor. I am tiered of trying to explain it. Also the videos are a little dark - don't know if there is a way to lighten them????? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7i9Kw8Eh-Kc http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uN-jLpU6HXw |
My Shadow has siezures and it looked just like that. How often does he do that? Your vet ,well never mind. |
Ah..... poor Murphy. :( :aimeeyork That was hard to watch, but you needed to film him to show the next vet. I hope the vet gets to the bottom of Murphy's problem. He is such a sweetie pie. Please keep us informed. |
Oh God Caren, I know you are scared to death! Did your vet think they could be seizures? Our first dog Basil had seizures that looked very similar. The vet put him on a common seizure medication- I am totally blanking on the name but the same on humans take and he was completely fine after that. He had to have blood work twice a year to make sure the medication level was okay but that was it. I know I almost had major heart attacks until he was diagnosed. Spike and I are sending you big hugs and kisses Murphy! Edit- just remembered the meds- it was Phenobarbitol. Worked like a charm. |
Nikki was it PHENOBARBITAL? |
Bless his heart...take that video to the vet...I will be praying for him...poor boy....:( |
Oh.... My.... Goodness.... :eek: That poor baby. Your vet seems to have NO HEART. I cant believe he told you you are over reacting. You have every right to be pissed. My first thought was seizures as well... then i wondered if he has something wrong with his back. The seizure thing seems more correct though. I hope and pray that your visit on Saturday is more productive and an answer is there. I will check back for updates :getwellso little Murphy |
Ooooh, Tink's seizures look like that too when she's standing. When she's lying down, she just flails her legs and arms and her head jerks to one side. But Tink's are neuro system damage from having an infection (histoplasmosis) and she was really sick before the seizures started. I don't know what to tell you except it's good that you're going to a different vet. Your old one needs ears and glasses! Good luck with your little love. |

That poor baby, please take him to another veterinarian if you can get in to see a neurologist without a referral that is what I would suggest. Good Luck to you and that sweet baby. |

Thanks Nikki....you know how much I love my Murphy Boy...I just need to get some answers so he is okay in the long run. I am going to see a new vet on Saturday - hopefully he can help. |
Don't beat yourself up, we try and trust our vets. You need to see someone else, you are right... your vet is dead wrong. |
