My dog shook, eyes bulged. Was it an anxiety attack or a seizure?

Question

Hello. I have a 6 year old Pomeranian. He was given to us 8 months ago. We think that he was abused by his previous owners! We can see that he's happy with us! He did something weird last night!. He ran down the hall in really heavy & fastd. Then he ran backinto the room with me & laid flat on the floor with a strange look on his face! My daughter picked him up & he was shaking with his eyes buldging & his mouth clinched! That's never happened before... Was that an anxiety attack? Pet's info: Dog | Pomeranian | Male | 10 lbs

Dogs don’t really have anxiety attacks like this. I would be concerned that Jo-Jo had a seizure or perhaps a syncopal episode. I recommend to have him seen by his veterinarian today if possible for bloodwork and an EKG. This will help to eliminate or prove some possible causes and it’s the best starting point. Best of luck and please feel free to post any additional questions.
