unlacedgecko 1,467 Posted December 17, 2011 Report Share Posted December 17, 2011 If it was summer time I would have suggested dehydration or overheating. Is the dog insured? If so, get it to the vet as soon as possible. If not, I would still recommend the vet. Quote Link to post

whippet 99 2,613 Posted December 17, 2011 Report Share Posted December 17, 2011 (edited) my terriers do this sometimes and its down to an allergy, if i go to a certain place after a while they start falling over and coughing, when they get up they keep falling over. they will stop feeding so i syringe a bit of milk into them. after a while they get over it , i think its something they spray on the fields. its frightening at first but they get over it, pm me mate and i will give you my number i will explain better Edited December 17, 2011 by whippet 99 Quote Link to post
