nat 8 Posted September 6, 2010 Report Share Posted September 6, 2010 Last night at about 11:30 I went into the kitchen t get a drink, when I turned the light on blue my 2 year old whippet dog sort of stumbled to his feet and he was shaking so I opened his cage and helped him out but he was still shaking really badly looked like a muscle spasm all over his body... But he was still happy enough in himself he had a drink and made his way t d door do I let him our he did a pee n came back in still shaking, but still happy as lary. He went bak in his bed and I made him lie down and the shaking seemed stop so o went t bed. But then at 1:30 in the morning the was a really load bang so I came down and. It was the dog he started shaking really bad and cut his head n leg. But yet he was still seemed normal in his personality. Took him t d vets and on the way his shaking got worse his eyes were rolling n he was foaming at mouth. The vets pit him on some sedatives t calm him down but while he was asleep he was still skahking. This morning at 8 he was still shaking the vets think its t do with his brain and are going t run some tests so fingers crossed they can sort him... Quote Link to post

Tiff 36 Posted September 6, 2010 Report Share Posted September 6, 2010 has he had any bad spills that you know of? If you know his breeding you should probably ask if the line has epilepsy in it? Good luck Quote Link to post
