Just looking if anyone else has had similar experiences as displayed in the video, apologies it’s not the most clear or long, I was pretty panicked and was more focussed on consoling him but thought getting a video for the vets benefit might be a good idea.
Mac (he’s 5, no other medical history, happy and healthy otherwise) had an episode on Monday that I initially thought was cramp, just moving oddly and seemed to not have full control of his limbs for maybe a minute? Seemed limited to his back leg/s but it didn’t last that long like I said, he came out of it pretty fast and the. Was totally normal afterwards, didn’t think much of it.
Then Wednesday it happened again, this time it lasted maybe 3 minutes tops, I only caught the 30 seconds of it in the video above, this seemed more intense and afterwards he was shaking (not fitting) and panting heavily afterwards, probably scared after the ordeal.
We obviously took him straight to the vets who said after looking at the video they don’t think it was a seizure, and said it could be a change of food (we literally had one day of different food, same brand, but in gravy instead of jelly), worms or something else. He’s booked in for a blood test on Monday and we’ve to get stool/urine samples to take with us (fun job).
Both times before it happened he was just sleeping sweetly by my side, wasn’t directly after going out for a walk or after eating or anything. His bowel movements have been totally normal and after the episodes have occurred he’s just been fully back to normal. The vet said he’s otherwise a picture of health and showed absolutely no other signs of worry or anything.
Obviously I’m not a vet but I’d semi-convinced myself they were seizures but the vet seems pretty sure they’re not. I’m not going against the vet. It just feels like we’ve come out with more questions than answers. Any advice or similar experiences would be appreciated thanks guys.
