Hello. Oh, dear, poor Nemi may have had a seizure. Please have her examined by your veterinarian at your earliest convenience for any appropriate tests to see why this happened. Once a diagnosis is obtained, appropriate therapy/treatment can be started. I do hope Nemi is doing well soon. Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach.
