barnslyben 74 Posted October 12, 2012 Report Share Posted October 12, 2012 hi all just been out for a mooch with dogs tonight ,my stepdaughters border bitch had a funny turn like a fit ,not nice she was shaking falling over seemed to lose her co-ordination. This happened twice within an hour. The first time she ever did it was on a very hot day in summer out on a walk, which I put down to heat exhaustion. I dropped her in a water troff to cool her down which seem to work. Obviously not hot today at all so I'm quite worried. All help appreciated. Cheers Quote Link to post
