This is because the dog has epilepsy.
Dog epilepsy is a grand mal seizure type:
Sick pet dogs will suddenly fall to the ground, convulse, and have tonic or paroxysmal spasms. The dog's whole body is stiff, its limbs are stretched, its head and neck are bent back or to one side, and sometimes its limbs are paddling like swimming. Muscle twitching, loss of consciousness and sensation, trismus, foaming at the mouth. Eye movement, obvious sclera, mydriasis, nasolabial tremor, and incontinence of urine and feces.
The seizure lasts from seconds to minutes. In the later stage of the attack, the convulsions disappear, consciousness and feeling are restored, and the affected dog stands up automatically, showing fatigue, ataxia, and depression.
Dog epilepsy is a petit mal seizure type:
In this case, the pet dog may suddenly have a transient disorder of consciousness, stand still, slow or unresponsive, The symptoms of spasm and convulsions are mild and short-lived, mostly localized, such as eyelid twitching, eyeball rotation, lip tremor, etc. The interval between epileptic seizures varies. Some have several or several seizures a day, and some have intervals of several days, months, or even more than a year. During the interval between seizures, the symptoms are exactly the same as those of healthy dogs.
Whenever this happens, it is best to take the pet dog to the hospital quickly without delay. In addition, you must also manage your dog's life well in daily life. We must strengthen the care of pet dogs, keep the environment quiet, and reduce stimulation to dogs. At the same time, scientifically administer medicine to the dog according to the veterinarian’s instructions to control the dog’s condition so that the dog can recover as soon as possible.
