My 6 yr old beagle has just had a seizure - never seen him have one before. Not sure if this could be a one off.
He was - luckily - in bed with me. He was under the duvet & just started shaking his head violently. I thought at first he was scratching (he has skin allergies), then realised it was too vigorous. That bit was very short, then I pulled the duvet back and he sat up - he looked completely "out of it", not reacting to me talking to him, and his front paws kept slipping forward, he turned his head to one side & was drooling loads. I just kept stroking his shoulder & talking quietly to him. He took a little while to sort of come round, then he moved away from where he had drooled & lay down.
I'm going to call the vet, but has anyone been through this? I know it's common in certain breeds, and I 'think' that includes beagles.
Do I worry at this stage? Is it epilepsy?
Thank you for reading - I'm a bit shook up.
