My dog is vomiting, wobbly, lethargic, pale gums. What's wrong?

Question

1yr old YorkiePoo was fine when we left at 5p, we returned about 8p & found she had vomit, acts lethargic, head & stance is wobbly. Seems to be breathing normal. Pale gums not a bubble gum color. What could be wrong? Pet's info: Dog | Yorkipoo | Female | spayed | 1 year and 9 months old | 7.5 lbs

It’s possible she had a seizure. If she does not steadily return to normal over the next few hours, it would be best to have her checked by your vet in the morning. Routine screeening bloodwork can help determine if a liver or kidney issue could be the cause of the seizure. Medical treatment for seizures is usually not started unless the pet has multiple seizures in one month, repeated seizures or a grand mal seizure lasting more than several minutes. Seizures generally have a pre-ictal phase where the pet is anxious and may vomit, the ictal phase during which paddling/convulsions are seen, and the post-ictal phase where the pet is disoriented and often wobbly. Best wishes for Nola to steadily return to normal and not have another episode!
