O/T really worried about my dog

[tpt]

Hiya - dogs shake for a number of reasons - quite often when they are in pain (if there are no obvious factors like fear etc). It does symptomatically sound like a small TIA / stroke but really could be a number of things. Any convulsion usually causes loosening of the bowels and depression, so it may be that he has had some type of fit - his bloods will reveal that if it is the case. Keep him calm, ventilated, cool and don't stress over him as he will pick up on your anxiety and it will cause him further distress - hard I know. Keep his fluids up, he will let you know when he wants food and let us know what the vet said. Best of luck and give him a kiss from me & my hounds.

Aww poor love I have a dog who is also 9. The only advice I can give is to get him to your vet who will be able to give you an answer. Are there any fireworks going off in your area? Lara (my dog) hates fireworks and they cause her to shake and just not be herself. I hate fireworks

Sorry I missed this thread Sam and have everythign crossed that your poor dog is ok.

My little dog is in his 20's now (human years too) and we had a bit of a scare with him last week, but he's ok now. I don't know how we would have coped if it was anything bad, so know how you must be feeling.

Take care xxx

Thinking about you both x

Thank you all for your lovely posts and PM's and Im sorry its taken me so long to update the thread. Had no chance to get online last night and been back to work today for my first day.

Jake is a little better. Neil took him to vets last night and he had started to improve a little by then. Vet doesnt think any cause for concern and that he had prob just eaten something he shouldnt like some of you suggested. He took bloods as precaution and was due to phone Neil today with results. Ive not heard anything so am assuming no news is good news.

He's drinking now but still not eating. He's still v lethargic too but looking much better than he did yesterday. Fingers crossed he makes a full and speedy recovery.

Hi Sam, I'm really glad he's feeling better. It's such a worry when they're not well because they can't tell you anything. Let us know the results of the blood test. Fingers crossed that it was just something 'passing through'. xx

 

[gaelic girl]

[fat-girl-slim08]

Hi Sam,

I know it is heart breaking for you seeing Jake unwell like this. My own baby dog has given me a few scares and thankfully has been able to bounce back as good as new.

Sending prayers that Jake will make a speedy recovery.

Love Mini xxx
