Pet's info: Dog | Siberian Husky | Female | unspayed | 4 years and 6 months old | 25 lbs

My 4-year old siberian husky is having convulsions. She has been having difficulty with her balance for about a week. She had a fever earlier today. What could be the cause?

The most common reason for seizures in dogs is epilepsy. Since she has been having balance issues as well and a fever I would be worried about meningitis or a brain tumor. I suggest you get Sam to a vet for an exam.
