My dog had a seizure: What to do for shaking, glassy eyes

My bitch shakes with very high speed and her eyes full with tears she also falls dkwn on the ground during shaking and feel tired

It sounds like Rosy could have seizures. She needs to see a vet as soon as possible for this. Seizures could be caused by liver disease, high or low blood sugar, kidney failure, toxins, brain tumors, or trauma to the brain. The vet can use a physical exam, blood tests, and urinalysis to treat to diagnose what is causing the seizures and can treat her for it. If Rosy seizures again before you can seek vet care: - Don't put your hands near her mouth - Keep some rubbing alcohol in a spray bottle to spray on the pads of the feet for cooling - Monitor her at all times during the seizure to ensure that she cannot hurt herself by crashing into furniture, etc - If the seizure continues for more than 5 minutes, seek emergency care immediately

Hi, I have a 2 year old white maltipoo. Two days ago she started shaking and clenching her jaws. She would try to stand on her legs but her legs would give way. The same thing had happened a few months ago. When it first happened, by the time we got

I am so sorry to hear about Coco. I know how scary this can be for the dog as well as the owner. You have my sympathies. The first disease that comes to mind when you were describing her symptoms was one called idiopathic epilepsy or seizures. Unfortunately, dogs of her breed can start to have seizures at an early age. Another disease of small small breed dogs is a condition called hypoglycemia or low blood sugar. This disease can also cause the same symptoms as seizures. I strongly encourage you to make an appointment with your veterinarian as soon as possible even if she is acting completely normal. In fact, that would be the best time to do a physical exam as well as diagnostic testing like bloodwork so that you can have medications on board or at home to give if she exhibits the symptoms again. Not to mention, with something as serious as this could be, you need to have a correct diagnosis performed by your local veterinarian so that they can help you treat any problems you may

Earlier today coco was a sleep and all of a sudden she woke up crying laying on her side and started peeing on herself

The signs you are describing sound like Coco may have had a seizure. She may have been confused afterwards, which is known as the post ictal period, and can consist of her seeming a little "off". Seizures can be caused by epilepsy, brain inflammation or tumors. I recommend keeping a close eye on Coco, and try to film any future episodes to show your vet. If these continue, Coco should be seen right away, as she may need anti seizure medication. I hope this helps and thank you for using Boop by Petco!

Poor Zoey. I'm concerned she could have had something like a seizure. She needs to see a vet immediately. If she seizures again before you can seek vet care: - Don't put your hands near her mouth - Keep some rubbing alcohol in a spray bottle to spray on the pads of the feet for cooling - Monitor her at all times during the seizure to ensure that she cannot hurt herself by crashing into furniture, etc - If the seizure continues for more than 5 minutes, seek emergency care immediately

we think B had a secure about 1am. she can't sit up at all her pupils are very large no dry but warn kind of alert no foaming of the mouth

I am going to assume you mean a seizure and just misspelled the word. Seizures can certainly result in the after effects you are describing (known as the post-ictal period), often lasting hours to even days in some cases. If a seizure has occurred, the most common causes of this include epilepsy, neurologic diseases, cancers of the central and peripheral nervous system, and severe hypoglycemia. If B has another episode tonight that you can verify, I would not wait until morning to seek assistance. Otherwise, simply keep her comfortable until you can get a scheduled visit at your vet. They may want to obtain x-rays and blood work to rule out some of the things I have described above. If epilepsy or a tumor is the cause of the seizures, the only way to verify or rule one or the other out is with advanced imaging like an MRI. This is only available at specialty facilities and often costs in the multiple thousands of dollars. As a result, in many cases anticonvulsive drugs are pre

It's quite serious when a dog suddenly has seizures, and it could be that Snow got into something toxic, has low blood sugar, has liver disease, or kidney failure among other causes. I would have her seen by a vet right away. The vet can diagnose what is causing her seizures and can treat her for it. If Snow seizures again before you can seek vet care: - Don't put your hands near her mouth - Keep some rubbing alcohol in a spray bottle to spray on the pads of the feet for cooling - Monitor her at all times during the seizure to ensure that she cannot hurt herself by crashing into furniture, etc - If the seizure continues for more than 5 minutes, seek emergency care immediately
