Stuffed Pomeranian Dog Q&A

Help, what is wrong with my pomeranian?

My pomeranian every now and then gets these moments where he completely looses it.He acts really paranoid, like something has scared him really bad.It doesn't happen often but when it does it's crazy.He has to be absolutly with someone at all times of this or he gets so scared.He jolts his head back and forth like he's hearing stuff.And he can never sit still and starts breathing heavy and faster.He acts like someone is after him or something.Can someone tell me what this might be, or if anyone else's dog is like this.
But the dog doesn't seem like it's having a seizure, maybe like a mini one I guess.Nothing is ever wrong with his mouth.He does pace alot.He usually calms down after I stroke him and talk to him to calm down.

Sounds like seizures to me:

What is a seizure?

Seizures are one of the most frequently seen neurological problems in dogs. A seizure is also known as a convulsion or fit. It may have all or any combination of the following:

1. Loss or derangement of consciousness

2. Contractions of all the muscles in the body

3. Changes in mental awareness from nonresponsiveness to hallucinations

4. Involuntary urination, defecation, or salivation

5. Behavioral changes, including non-recognition of guardian, viciousness, pacing, and running in circles
What are the three phases of a seizure?

Seizures consist of three components:

1) The pre-ictal phase, or aura, is a period of altered behavior in which the dog may hide, appear nervous, or seek out the guardian.He may be restless, nervous, whining, shaking, or salivating. This may last a few seconds to a few hours.

2) The ictal phase is the seizure itself and lasts from a few seconds to about five minutes. During this period, all of the muscles of the body contract strongly. The dog usually falls on his side and seems paralyzed while shaking. The head will be drawn backward. Urination, defecation, and salivation often occur. If it is not over within five minutes, the dog is said to be in status epilepticus or prolonged seizure.

3) During the post-ictal phase, there is confusion, disorientation, salivation, pacing, restlessness, and/or temporary blindness. There is no direct correlation between the severity of the seizure and the duration of the post-ictal phase.
Is the dog in trouble during a seizure?

Despite the dramatic signs of a seizure, the dog feels no pain, only bewilderment. Dogs do not swallow their tongues. If you put your fingers into his mouth, you will do no benefit to your pet and will run a high risk of being bitten very badly. The important thing is to keep the dog from falling and hurting himself. As long as he is on the floor or ground, there is little chance of harm occurring. If seizures continue for longer than a few minutes, the body temperature begins to rise. If hyperthermia develops secondary to a seizure, another set of problems may have to be addressed.

What causes seizures?

There are many, many causes of seizures. Epilepsy is the most common and of least consequence to the dog. The other extreme includes severe diseases such as brain tumors. Fortunately, most are due to epilepsy.

Now that the seizure is over, can anything be done to understand why it happened?

When a seizure occurs, veterinarians begin by taking a thorough history concentrating on possible exposure to poisonous or hallucinogenic substances or history of head trauma. They will also perform a physical examination, a basic battery of blood tests, and an electrocardiogram (EKG). These tests rule out disorders of the liver, kidneys, heart, electrolytes, and blood sugar level. A heartworm test is performed if your dog is not taking heartworm preventative very regularly.

If these tests are normal and there is no exposure to poison or recent trauma, further diagnostics may be performed depending on the severity and frequency of the seizures. Occasional seizures are of less concern than when the seizures are becoming more severe and frequent. In this instance, a spinal fluid tap and fluid analysis may be performed. Depending on availability, specialized imaging of the head with a CAT scan or MRI might be performed. Fortunately, these additional tests are usually not needed.

What can be done to prevent future seizures?

Veterinarians generally prescribe 1-2 weeks of anticonvulsant therapy. If there are no more seizures during that time, the anticonvulsants are gradually discontinued. The next treatment is determined by how long it takes for another seizure to occur. That may be days, months, or years. At some point, many dogs have seizures frequently enough to justify continuous anticonvulsant therapy. Since that means that medication must be given every 12 to 24 hours for the rest of the dog's life, veterinarians do not recommend that until seizures occur about every 30 days or unless they last more than five minutes.

It is important to avoid sudden discontinuation of any anticonvulsant medication. Even normal dogs may be induced to seizure if placed on anticonvulsant medication and then abruptly withdrawn from it. Your veterinarian can outline a schedule for discontinuing the medication.

You mentioned status epilepticus. What does that mean?

Status epilepticus bears special note. It is characterized by a seizure that lasts more than five minutes. When it occurs, the dog's life is endangered. Unless intravenous medication is given promptly, the patient may die. If this occurs, you should seek treatment by a veterinarian immediately.

Stuffed Pomeranian Dog Q&A

How much does a dog at a rescue shelter?

I think a small dog, maybe a Pomeranian. Also, if I get a pet, do you have a pet will cost a lot of money to support up with? For example, as pet food, toys, pictures, stuff like that. Everyday things.

is usually between $ 50 and $ 150 for rescue a pet from a shelter. Covers the cost of maintaining the dog. I have two pompoms and I love them. You will not be disappointed with one if that's what you decide to get. Usually the cost of the mascot is the least expensive in the long term. It's very expensive to own a pet. You need food to feed them high quality pet because dogs tend to have allergies to food of poor quality (as some grains, could cause itchy and have fleas, let alone that could have an anal gland * that cost me $ 250 to get speared, extracted, and medications *). Raw food and I love it. Depending on where you live and what kind of relationship that can create with a meat scraps, which can be cheaper or more expensive than regular food. But with health problems of poor quality food can create, is healthier and under (veterinary) expensive in the long run to feed raw. I "spoil" my dogs with toys when they learn something new. A toy for a dog-sized pom usually runs about $ 12 per piece, depending on the toy. Vaccines are very expensive and varies depending on your location and veterinarian. At the top of the shots need to remember to get your dog treated for heart / ring / round / worms, ticks and fleas etc. /. You also need to microchip your pet, very important if he / she leaves or lost. If found by a veterinarian or shelter can scan back and find you. It costs about $ 70 to get it done and recorded for life. Something you need to make sure you spend is time. To have a good dog behavior (like a happy dog) you need to spend much time with it. Not only play, but exercise and training. I know this does not include a lot of specific numbers, but many of them varies their intentions and their location. You are very smart and ahead of the game by asking these questions before getting a dog though. But I just go online with a list of things you need and check prices. PETCO.com is a great place to quick delivery. I also start calling around to veterinarians to obtain estimates on prices. I would also like to choose the veterinarian for an emergency / night / weekend service available. This was very important to me when I was elected the vet for my poms. They are very delicate and it seems every time a veterinarian is necessary, they are closed and an e-vet is necessary. Where I live, costs $ 150 just to walk through the door of the emergency vet (if not your regular veterinarian) so when my pom broke his leg, which saved me about $ 600. Good luck and congratulations on what the big decision to get a pom and save a life from a shelter.
