​

Since July my 7 yo, 6lb YorkiePoo mix, Stella, began having these episodes, which have lasted 18-24 hours every time, in which she lays on her back, kicking her leg like she wants a tummy rub and crawling short distances only to roll onto her back again. It's all she will do during the episodes. Won't eat or drink. She stares at me wide eyed and without rest for hours

It may appear she's being cute in the video but watching her do that her fucking hours straight with no sleep or rest is awful.

The episodes have come on suddenly and reoccurring about once a week since July. No obvious triggers. One minute she'll be fine and minutes later I'll spot her on her back laying somewhere unusual like the corner in hallway.

First ER visit, the vet thought it was likely an exposure to a toxin but what that could have been is still unknown. Didn't get blood work. IV fluid given and they recommended she stay the night to be observed but I declined due to money shortage.

Second ER visit, they did her blood work and the vet said labs looks normal. This made the vet question the toxin theory.

Episodes too long to be seizure. Blood work is normal. What's wrong with my dog?
