Twitching, foaming at the mouth, lethargy and poor appetite may stem from epilepsy, poisoning or distemper sequelae. During an epileptic fit, keep the dog calm and reduce stimulation.
Poisoning also causes these signs and needs emergency care; if caught early, gastric lavage may help. Once twitching begins, do not induce vomiting; use fluid therapy. Distemper sequelae brings whole-body twitching recurring periodically, treated mainly with antiviral, sedative and anti-inflammatory care.
