Ok brethren, I need some information.
Last night as my wife and I ate supper, our Cocker Spaniel (Tanner) has some type of "fit." My first thought was this must be a seizure, but I've never seen one before. It scared my wife to tears. Poor Tanner didn't know what was happening. One of his back legs seemed to lock up, he trembled terribly and stumbled around. This lasted for about maybe a minute and then he was fine. We payed close attention to him the rest of the night and he seemed unaffected.
Before this happened, I had been home a while and he and I had been outside for about an hour. Since he likes to wander off sometimes, I have to keep a close eye on him. So, I know he didn't get into anything outside. We keep his food and water inside and away from chemicals and I know he didn't get into anything inside either.
He's 2 years old, so I'm pretty sure he's too young for a stroke, but I'm no vet. Does anyone have any experience or knowledge in this area? Is there anything that can be done for him, if it happens again? I really appreciate any tips, facts, suggestions, prayers... anything to keep Tanner safe and my wife at ease.
Thanks,
Letney
