My dog had a seizure this morning-UPDATE
Around 5 am my Tonka had a seizure. She was shaking and peed all over the bed. She just laid there when it was over and looked so dazed. It only lasted a minute, maybe less. I called the e.r vet and they said as long as she is OK i could wait until my regular dr opened up. I brought her about 8 and they ran all sorts of test and x-rays. They don't think its cancer from what they can tell but her liver is on the small side and irregulary shaped. They said this can cause seizures. Basically she would have to have sometime of surgery. I wont know more until tomorrow when I get her test results back.
If this is OK they want her to get an MRI with a nuerologist.
Does anyone know of neurologist they can reccomend if I need to go down that road?
Thanks so much
First I just want to thank everyone for their hugs, prayers and reccomendations!
I got her test results this morning and they said her liver enzymes are great as well as her blood work. At this point they think it may have just been a fluke. I am hoping this is the case. I wanted to take her to a neurologist anyway but my vet said to just moniter her first. If she has another seizure she said she will give me a referral to any neurologist I want. This is where they will rule out any brain tumors and diagnose her with epilepsy. ( which my dr said is very rare for rottys)
She was tired all day yesterday and pretty much just laid next to me and slept. Today she seems to be more like herself which made me feel a lot better.She ate like a cow and is resting comfortably on her new bed.
I must say my other rotty is not liking all of the attention Tonka is getting!
Thanks again! I will definitly look into all of the reccomendations you all gave me. I really appreciate it!!!

Re: My dog had a seizure this morning
I am so so sorry --- the vet will recommend where to take your dog, probably one of the area hospitals - if you are on LI, the hospital in Plainview seems to be the most widely used.
My sister's dog had this - turns out he had a stroke. He is fine now tho, no surgery just some p/t.
I hope everything is OK!

Re: My dog had a seizure this morning
Thank you!
I am really hoping this was just a freak incenident. The vet said its a possibility since she is otherwise very healthy. I don't want to put her through a surgery if its her liver.
Thanks for the hugs and prayers!!

Re: My dog had a seizure this morning
This is the best animal radiology that I know of. They are wonderful here & were a tremendous help when my MinPin suffered a seizure a couple of years ago. Link

Re: My dog had a seizure this morning
I am so sorry. I know how scary that is. My dog had a siezure when my parents were on vacation...I was home alone and had no idea what to do. But an hour later, it was as if nothing happened. To this day, we don't know what happened.
I hope everything turns out fine...
