This is Baitylynn, a 3-year-old Toy Dachshund. Baitylynn’s mom lost her job and was working on finding another job in her industry when Baitylynn started having seizures. They were scary and her mom was very worried about her, so she scrambled up some money to take her to the vet. There, little Baitylynn was diagnosed with epilepsy. Dogs can have seizures just like humans; these can look similar to a twitch or uncontrollable shaking, and can last from under a minute to several minutes long. According to PetMed, signs that your dog may be having seizures include:
Before a seizure, a dog could look dazed, seem unsteady or confused, or stare off into space. After a seizure, a dog may be disoriented, wobbly, temporarily blind, may walk in circles and bump into things, have a lot of drool on their chin and may try to hide. If your dog is showing any of these symptoms, Fur Kids Foundation encourages you to take them to be examined by a vet. Seizures are not always genetic, and something could be very wrong with your pet, such as:
Thankfully, Baitylynn’s mom caught the seizures early, so now this sweet girl is on some medication to help keep them under control. And, her mom knows what to look for when Baitylynn has another episode.
