my dog's seizures

[this is about my dog Bubba]

my dog has seizurelike episodes during his sleep. He has done this twice in the past 2 months and he is 5 years old. He urinates when he goes into this seizure and doesn't have control of his legs. His movements are like a paddle or like he is trying to fight something off. He is a Shitzu dog. He doesn't have an appetite when he comes out of the seizure. He is exhausted. Since he has done this a couple of times and his blood work is normal and only when he is asleep, I don't think this is a normal seizure but some kind of disorder. I don't want to dope him up all the time when I think something else is causing this. Please help.

You might try a holistic veterinarian for a different take on the situation. There are many that combine traditional with holistic practices.

my dog has the same condition. he started his first seizure only yesterday and had another one again today. he also had his episodes during his sleep. did you find out what's wrong with your dog? did you bring him to a vet? i might bring my dog to a vet tomorrow for a blood test and see what's going on. it hurts me to see him like this 2 days in a row. hope it doesn't occur again tomorrow. please let me know if you found out something. thanks and hope your dog is fine too. cheers.

I took him to the hospital the first time he had a seizure and his vitals were normal by the time I got there. The only thing we can figure, he received a pill to calm him the day before. The pill did not calm him only made him more aggressive. He took the pill to get his hair cut and ride in the car. The dr. had prescribed. I threw the pills away and don't remember the name but it is what vets prescribe for calming animals.
