Dog Having Seizures Then Slipping Into Comatose State....help! Options

[bluedianey]

Hi, my dog, my "baby" Gizmo a Rat Terrier/Pom is 3 1/2 and just started having seizures. his first one he was stiff and laying on his side, no movement but his eyeballs. He was tested for lymes, he was positive so we treated and thought all was ok. Then a few months later he was trotting along, legs crumpled, he fell, looked like strings pulled his legs straigt and pulled him onto his back, legs straight in air, then he rolled over and trotted off. a week ago he started getting clingy a few days before his next seizure. He was stiff and walking funny. Then on the day of....he started barking (he never barks) and I took him out to potty, I noticed immediantly he was totally blind...couldn't see a thing. Then he fell, got up, fell, 5 times. I picked him up and brought in house. he layed on carpet and head would drop and he would jerk it up, then drop and hed jerk it up. I picked him up and he was like steel....his body arched stiffly to right and was rigid. I layed him on sofa by me, his head dropped and he rolled to lay on side...his eyes tuned forward into fixed gaze with eyes half lidded and he slipped into a coma. he was completely unresponsive to anyting for almost 2 hours. My vet doesn't seem to believe me and is not doing anything... HELP!!!!!! I am afraid with the severity of this seizure his next might be his last...HELPPPPPPPPPP

Hi, bluedianey, please permit me to try to offer you some comfort and encouragement in what is happening with your precious Gizmo. First and foremost - - since your veterinary care provider is not taking you seriously you need to find a vet practitioner who will. Seizures can be caused from so many different things. Do you have a 24 hour vet ER hospital close to you or within reasonable driving distance? If so, when your precious Gizmo is having another seizure TAKE HIM IMMEDIATELY TO THE ER HOSPITAL. Although not all seizures can be traced to a definitive medical condition, the symptoms NEED TO BE APPROPRIATELY TREATED.

None of us here can tell you what is happening, but we are here to offer you and your precious Gizmo support and encouragement in all circumstances. Only a qualified veterinary practitioner can properly treat your beloved Gizmo, and the best way to obtain that is when he is in the midst of a seizure.

I hope you will be able to find a veterinary practitioner who will take your valid concerns for your precious Gizmo seriously, bluedianey. Please know you and your precious Gizmo are in my thoughts and prayers, and please do let us know how your precious Gizmo is doing.

Peace and blessings,
