My dog suddenly shook, curled up, and was unresponsive. Seizure?

Question

Hi my dog suddenly ran away from my side and went to another room, and her spine curled up and her legs retracted and she just started shaking and when I tried to touch her, her legs wouldn't move but after five minutes. She got up as if nothing happened. Pet's info: Dog | Havanese | Female | unspayed | 3 years and 1 month old

Poor Chloe! It sounds like she had a seizure or possibly a syncope (fainting) from a heart problem. She should be examined by a vet to determine the cause. Your vet can do an examination, run lab-work, and x-rays, if needed, to diagnose and then determine if any treatment is needed. If another episode happens, try to record so your vet can see exactly what happens during an episode.
