My Teddy suddenly had a seizure, trembling and unable to stand, with changed pupils, then recovered after a short while. This also happened two months ago.
Take a seizing dog to the vet promptly. Epilepsy, neurological disease and brain parasite infection can all cause this.
What does a spinal injury in a cat look like?
Mild injury causes lower-back pain, abnormal gait, and inactivity; severe injury can cause hind-limb paralysis, incontinence, and loss of sensation. Get an X-ray; treat with pain relief or surgery and acupuncture.
What Happens If a Cat’s Spine Is Broken?
A minor spinal injury causes back pain and poor coordination; a full break often leads to hind-leg paralysis and incontinence. Seek veterinary care at once.
What happens if a dog lacks calcium?
Calcium deficiency causes osteoporosis, limb weakness, unstable walking, joint deformity, and easier fractures. It also brings anorexia, lethargy, thinness, dull coat, and hair loss. Puppies get X/O legs, double rows of teeth, and flared ribs; severe cases cause standing difficulty.
What happens if a dog eats chocolate?
A dog that eats chocolate can be poisoned, showing nervous sensitivity, anxiety, excitement, excessive thirst, diarrhea, incontinence, rapid breathing, vomiting, intermittent convulsions, twitching, and a racing heartbeat. Large amounts can later cause cardiac arrest and death. Ordinary chocolate may not contain real theobromine but is still not recommended for dogs.
What happens if a dog often holds urine?
Frequent holding causes urinary infection, stones and incontinence. Bacteria multiply, urine concentrates into crystals, the bladder may rupture, and prostate or uterine issues follow.
What happens if a dog holds urine too long?
Long urine holding harms the urinary system: it weakens sphincters causing incontinence, and stagnant urine forms crystals or stones. It can also cause prostate or kidney disease.
What happens if a puppy walks on its hind legs?
Frequent walking on the hind legs injures a puppy's hips and spine, possibly causing paralysis and incontinence. Small breeds are especially at risk of fractures.
My 12-year-old dog was terrified, jumped high, fell, and has drooled heavily for four days; head still cannot move, hind legs move, front legs stiff, only slight self-movement; yesterday eyes were lively and took milk by syringe, today refuses water and milk. Any chance of recovery? What to feed for nutrition?
A fall can cause brain and spine injury with head tilt, drooling, paralysis, and later stiffness and incontinence; urgent imaging is needed. Nutrition like lactoferrin, calcium, and vitamins helps, but lasting deficits are likely.
What happens after a dog becomes paralyzed?
Paralysis weakens or removes movement and can cause incontinence and muscle atrophy. Help the dog walk daily and massage muscles for over 15 minutes. Keep the hind legs clean to avoid skin infection, and feed soft, digestible food due to slowed digestion.
