Susan when that happened were you able to touch him anywhere on his back, and if so, did he cry or show pain? I am so happy that he recovered well, poor little guy.

He would just start screaming and then would hold himself stiffly and would shake. It really looked like he was having a seizure but he was not unresponsive or incontinent of his bowels or bladder like our other epileptic dog when she seized. Yes I know there are all different degrees of seizures. Anyway, did they check out his back? After a steroid shot, anti-inflamitories and restricted activity for 5 weeks he has been fine.

We had to rush my parents little Chihuahua Bear to the vet this afternoon...he is the brother to my Chihuahua Sox. He was fine last night...clear up to about 1 or 1:30 this morning when my mom went to bed. He was drinking water...playing and everything was ok. Well this morning he woke her up by screaming! She couldnt find anything wrong with him. He hasnt eaten or drank anything all day. While we were at the vets office...in the waiting room...he had a seizure...he got really stiff and was laying on his side...screaming. The vet rushed him back right then and there. They did blood work and everything came back normal to very good. No one knows why this happened. We left the vet a little after 6 pm...and he was still shaking. Tried to get him to eat some canned food ...he wouldnt. We bought him baby food with beef and broth and chicken and broth. We need to get some fluids in him. Any suggestions or ideas? If he hasnt shown improvement in the morning...Im taking him back. Love this little guy...he weighs less than 4 lbs. Ill check back in a few. Im VERY tired. My husband came home from work about 3:45 this morning...had to take him to the ER...he pulled a muscle in his back! Had to get up this morning at 8:30...after not getting to bed to after 5:30 am! Had to go pick up prescriptions for my husband....then I had to go to my doctor and pick up an order for a Hi Da scan on my liver...pancreas...and gall bladder. Had an ultra sound on my liver last week...I have very high liver enzymes...the ultra sound came back abnormal! He also ordered more blood work and said straight up hes checking me for cancer...SO...PLEASE pray for little Bear ...he is loved so much by all of us...Im going to check on him now...and get some water in him....please say a prayer for me too...Im a little scared at this point...thank you.
