Help Possible Seisure and Diahorrea

[SashaMc]

Hi all

I do not post much, but needed some advice so I hope you do not mind.

I have been on holiday and Macca went into Kennels for 6 days in total, it is his first time there and I was devastated,

When we returned, they said he had diahorrea only that day Thursday and when collecting him, he was molting bad, I put this down to stress and fretting for me, so have gave him extra cuddles but he just did not seem himself, still having bad diahorrea.

This morning, we were having a cuddle and he got up to walk away from me on the floor and he was wobbling, his back legs went and he fell to the floor, was not shaking or anything but his bladder went, took about 6 - 10 seconds for him to full regain himself. I am worried sick and have tried to ring the vet but she said to watch him.

My previous dog Bruno had this, but he was 8 when it started and was down to heart problems, I am devastated and It took me 6 yrs to get Macca as still grieving even now for my Boo. It was like a flashback and I have been so upset.

He seems fine now, running around etc. Am I over worrying I could not cope with the same illness as boo, I would be devastated as he is only 6 months old.

Help??? Do you reckon it is down to his diahorrea or something else.

Thanks for all your advice xxx

It could be any number of things; being at the kennel was certainly stressful and if he wasn't eating well (many dogs don't at kennels) he may have had a bout of low blood sugar, which can sometimes cause collapse especially in puppies. He may have picked up a bug at the kennel, or he may have worms, both of which might contribute to the diarrhea as well. Of course in a Boxer you always suspect heart, and that's a possibility, but the circumstances would have me looking at other things first.
