Rushed to the emergency vet tonight...

I woke up to Dakota throwing up, then moving around her pen. I got up to check on her and she was acting weird and suddenly she stiffened up. Then she started shaking and foaming at the mouth... I'm assuming seizure. It lasted probably no more than a minute and she was petrified after.

Her vitals are good. I am calling her regular vet tomorrow. It's her first time and it really freaked me out. She's acting like her crazy self now, but I am just sick with worry over this. :(

Oh I hope you get good news that will alleviate your worries!  How upsetting for you both.

Our cat had spectacular grand mal seizures often, for many years, all his life.  It was no problem.  No treatment.

Hi Jenn, Was it a seizure like this?


Or 
a Focal seizure like this?


Usually Phenobarbital is given in the case of epilepsy. If you do see her improve with medication, then work on getting the meds down to their lowest possible level that still leave him seizure-free.
Seizure can happen due to many causes, anything from trauma from a car accident, low blood sugar to poison...etc.

Oh my gosh!!!!  How frightening for both of you!  Hopefully she'll be ok and it's something you can get a handle on.  Corgi best wishes coming your way.

Scary stuff!  I won't presume to offer any ideas but wish you and Dakota well.
