Guest little lurcher Posted October 11, 2008 Report Share Posted October 11, 2008 has the dog got any scratchs or cuts? possible to have tetanus? also an inbalance of electolytes and the bodys system could cause the odd fit? how fit is the dog please? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jim tait 0 Posted October 11, 2008 Report Share Posted October 11, 2008 How long did the fit last for? Sometimes working dogs will take a sudden crash in blood glucose - these only last for a minute or two. epileptic seizures vary from 30s to minutes. By the way - change your vet! Any dog thats fitting for more than 10-15 minutes is an emergency, and needs seen ASAP - the muscular activity raises the body temperature, and if not stopped, can result in permanent brain damage, if not a dead dog!!
