My 5yr old 7lb shih tzu, Sassy, has been acting very depressed all day today...she is normally a very energetic dog and playful and excited. Mostly today, besides when she went outside, she has laid on the bed under the covers with her toys. Nothing has changed in her diet, same food, same treats.
Just a bit ago, she was laying on the bed and I heard a "moaning", turned and she was laying with her back arched and neck in an unusual angle and legs strained..having a seizure. I picked her up, laid her on the floor...it lasted about 3 more seconds and then she took a couple steps very scared. About a minute later she had another one, it lasted about 6 seconds and she tossed on the ground and moaned. After that was totaly normally, besides being depressed.....
Its late, both of my vets who are on call 24/7 I cannot reach on their personal line and will continue to try to reach them for a bit longer until in the morning I will call their office.
Can anyone give me any insight as to what could be happening here???? She has had all of her shots, rabies ext, wormed, in great health and weight.
I cannot tell you how much I love this dog...she is my other half.....I feel like my world is shattering watching her go through this
