My 13yr old staffy cross had a brief seizure earlier today. He collapsed, jerked for just a few seconds, then struggled up and looked rather confused. He then started acting like a lunatic (as he does sometimes and was what he was doing just before the fit), chasing his tail and throwing a toy about. I got him to sit and calmed him down, he seemed fine.
I spoke with the vet, they won't see him but said if a fit lasts more than five minutes it's an emergency and to get him there asap.
This is the first time this has happened. He's got arthritic back legs and they sometimes give way, he's also covered in loads of fatty lumps. He's such a happy chap, so loving. I know he probably won't be around much longer which breaks my heart, but I wondered if anyone has had a similar experience? Did your ddog have any more seizures? Should I prepare for the worst sooner rather than later?? He eats well, sleeps a lot, has always been a velcro dog. My heart will absolutely break the day it's time for him to go.
