| Poppy has had a fit - help please Hi Can anyone help, my Yorkie Poppy is due in season very soon and today she had a fit, going stiff and twitching then being dazed after it. I just held her and fussed her and talked to her to comfort her and she is fine now. Has this happened to anyone else, I have heard that it can happen before their season somewhere I think but can't remember where. Thanks Angie Last edited by Angie Jordan; 01-15-2013 at 11:15 AM.

| This baby needs to be seen by a vet asap....there is a reason for this to be happening...it needs to be diagnosed. This could be a chemical imbalance.....it could also be neurological. I hope you do not plan on breeding this angel..... |

| Get her to the vet...today. Something is not right and I have never heard of a little girl doing that prior to going into heat.

| Thanks for the replies, will book her in asap. And thank you Yorkiemom1, but I said she was in season I said nothing about her being bred. |

| Afirmative..... seems as of late, "accidently bred" follows "was in heat" frequently .....I have never heard of "being in heat" or "getting close to being in heat" causing seizure ("fit) activity..... |

| Has this baby been seen by a vet yet? |

Donating YT 10K Club Member | I am aware that hormone changes during heat cycles that have triggered seizures which are neurologically based so no it's not "normal" and part of the course for controlling it is spaying the animal.

There are several different medical conditions that can cause seizures, not just epilepsy. Clyde is an epileptic ... but that was only discovered after a series of testing to rule other medical conditions out. My vet prescribed a medication that is supposed to help get his seizures under control. How often does Benji have these fits? Your vet should have informed you more than just saying "don't worry". Seizures in small dogs can be deadly, especially if they last more than a couple of minutes. I don't want to freak you out. Especially since I am not a vet, nor am I qualified in any way to give medical advice. I also have never met or seen Benji. I'm just saying that if your dog is having seizures and all your vet said was "don't worry about it" then I would consider looking for another vet. I hope Benji doesn't have anymore fits. Feel free to private message me if you want to talk more about seizures. (Welcome to YT, by the way!) Last edited by Clyde_Dexter; 01-18-2013 at 09:42 AM. | |
