| seizure???only her stomach shakes Help!! Last week my dog Lola started shaking at nite, she only did it one time last week n yesterday after taking her for a walk she started shaking for like 1 min n threw up 2 times right at that moment (it was like a yellow liquid). Yesterday she did not eat anything at all, at night, i gave her some food but she didnt want to eat it,she didnt even drink any water. As we went to bed she started shaking again (the only part of her body that shakes is her stomach) so i thought shen she was going to throwup again, so i puted her on the floor n she tried to throw up but nothing came out of her mouth this time. i stayed up all night with her just to make sure how often this "shaking" thing was, she would start shaking every 1 - 2 hours. n she would shake for only 30 sec or 1 min at the most. We think its a seizure but our dog only shakes her stomach. Is that a seizure? Or is that another health problem? pls help me!! i dont know what to do. |

| It's hard to tell from a description, but it doesn't sound like a seizure to me. Seizures are usually generalized, where the whole body writhes, or partial/localized to one area. "Fly snapping" is a classic symptom. Since seizures are involuntary muscle movements, it seems unlikely that the stomach would be involved. Nausea and vomiting is also not part of seizures. I think a vet visit is in order. Yorkies can dehydrate quickly when they stop eating and drinking. Dehydration causes dangerous electrolyte imbalances that can even lead to cardiac arrest. |

| Have you taken the dog to the Vet? Get to the Vet and get it checked out. Not a good sifn for belly shaking and vomiting. Dehydration, etc. Run, don't walk. Not a Vet, but have a bit of common sense. |

| ok, so i took my dog to the vet and what she has is a lot of gas (idk from what cuz she only eats her kibble) the vet said that some puppys n cats can die from gas but because lola is 9 month old she is considered an adult SO she is going to be ok. The vet gave me some medicines ( digestive stimulant, antiflatulent and bowel regulator) n she also said that having the amount of gas that my dog has is really paintfull n thats y her belly was shaking. THANKS EVERY1 FOR THE ADVISE! She is already doing way better n she is already drinking water n food. |
