My two-and-a-half-month-old puppy vomits and has seizures after coming home—what’s wrong?
Vomiting, lethargy and poor condition have many causes. Without vomiting and seizures it might be stress from a new environment or transport, which usually improves in days. But a newly bought pet risks infectious disease and parasites, so with persistent vomiting, diarrhea, lethargy and appetite loss, see a vet for parvovirus, distemper, coronavirus and parasite screening. Repeated seizures also warrant checking for epilepsy or distemper nerve involvement.
Dog Is Ill, Walks Unsteadily, Full-Body Twitching, Lethargic but Eats Normally
Twitching and unsteady gait may be calcium deficiency, distemper, epilepsy, poisoning, or encephalitis. Seek a vet regardless of cause.
Why Is My Dog Constantly Shivering
Constant shivering in dogs can signal fear, cold, poisoning, or illness. A scared or cold dog needs comfort and warmth; poisoning (from plants like morning glory or cleaners) brings foaming and stiffness and needs emergency vet care; underlying disease such as distemper, epilepsy, or kidney failure also causes trembling. If the cause is unclear, see a vet.
Why does my dog keep twitching or having spasms?
Twitching during sleep is usually dreaming or a noisy environment. Twitching while awake with tongue-out, stiff limbs, or loss of bowel control suggests a seizure from epilepsy, meningitis, or distemper aftereffects. Poisoning can also cause spasms - seek urgent veterinary care.
What causes convulsions (seizures) in a puppy?
Puppy convulsions can stem from heatstroke, epilepsy, poisoning, fright, low blood sugar, low calcium, heartworm, or distemper. Keep the environment calm and clear of obstacles, clear secretions to keep airways open, and get a vet promptly.
