Seizures Yesteray my four lbs, four year old, female Yorkie Holly had three seizures within four hours. She had an upset stomach on and off all week. The vet said it was from low sugar. We had to leave her in the emergency room all day. We picked her up last night, it is almost 24 hours since her last seizure. Has anyone every had this happen? |
Yes, this is possible, but unusual in an older dog. You said she had an upset stomach for a week prior. How do you know this? Was she vomiting? Alot? How and what do you feed her? Do you monitor her food intake? or is she being free fed (food left out 24/7?). I'm concerned as to why she had low sugar. Do you know why? What did your vet recommend? |
Seizures She was vomiting on and off. She has had a stomach problem from the time she was a pup. I have been to a couple of vets, they said, 'sensitive' stomach. She did have blood work yesterday and everything was normal. I do not know if the low blood sugar was the reason, she has been sicker than this and it never happened. The ER vet said, it was not a full seizure. Her legs go out, head moves, but no foaming, eyes rolling, etc., she gets up and is fine. I am feeding her boiled chicken today, that is what the vet advised for a few days until I see my regular vet. |
Please keep us updated. I would also feed her plain rice.. |
Seizures Thanks, I tried the rice, she will not eat it. |
Oh poor baby. I pray she gets better soon. :hands::hands: |
Has she been bile acid tested? What were you feeding her before you started giving her boiled chicken? |
Hope she feels better soon. My older pom had a grand mal seizure and when I took her to the Er they said that it is not uncommon for a dog to have a seizure during their lifetime with no known cause. She never had another one. It sure is scary to see them have one. |

Seizures I want to thank all of you for your support. She was eating Dry Food, non-allergy because my other girl has allergies. 1/2 pkg Ceaser morning and evening. She was never a water drinker. No she did not have the 'bile' test, we are seeing the vet tomorrow I am going to ask him. Thanks again. |
Please ask your vet to do a bile acid test just to be sure she does not have a liver shunt. Ceasar's isn't a good food. If you want or need to feed soft food there are many others that would be nutritionally better for your girls. She could have food allergies, they can cause seizures. |

my dog has horrible allergies and they do not seize from allergies -- yorkies are 38% more likely to have liver shunts and those are my first concern when a yorkie has seizures :( |

I do know a liver shunt dog that was just diagnosed at age 3 with 3-4 shunts and seemed normal up until some diarhea so it is still possible to have a liver shunt at 4 years old so this definitely needs to be ruled out to be sure |
I just wanted to say that I'm thinking of you and Holly :hug: I've had recent experience of my dog (not a yorkie) experiencing seizures and it was incredibly frightening and upsetting to witness. I'm praying for a happy outcome and swift recovery for little Holly xxx |
