Sharyn came home as I was soothing him and I carried him to a pillow near the gas heater. We decided that we'd see what came of it in the next hour or so before we called the vet. We put some water near him and after about an hour of laying dead still he decided he needed to drink. After the drink he ate some food and now, a few hours later, he's moving around as if nothing happened.
I appears that he may have been dehydrated and had a little seizure. All a little bit dramatic for the afternoon.  |
I hope your old mate Jack the best. My pup hasn't had a seizure since last Monday at the cabin. She is on phenobarbital right now until they figure out her thyroid problem to treat that. Her blood results came back for hypothyroidism which seizures can be a symptom of that. The are now testing her blood to see which treatment to put her on to bring it back to norm.
It's heart breaking when our pups aren't feeling well.
