Hi, i am new and my name is mary

and i just wnted to ask a question o see if any body would know why my dog just ramdomly falls to the groud (and it seems to look like her paws and legs dont work) and then she just gets back up like 5 secs later and acts like nothing has happend. if anybody knows why please awser she has dne this 4 times already.

How old is your dog
What breed
How long have yo had her
How long has this been going on
Have you seen the vet
Have you discussed idiopathic epilepsy, heart problems, EIC (exercise induced collapse)syncope etc?

Id defimitely make appt ASAP to see the vet. It could be anything or nothing but best to get it checked out

Welcome to Dogsey

She is 8 yrs old and a miniature schnauzer, but the runt of the family with a heart murmur, hade kidney infection and stones and has really bad teeth. i have hade her 8 yrs, and the firstt time that i saw it must hve been last week.
no i have not seen the vet but i have thought of epolepsy.





ps: and thanks to all who replied i really appreciateit

I really think you should take your dog to the vet. It's difficult to second-guess what could be wrong, so I'll pass.

Good luck......

Firstly welcome to Dogsey.

Secondly sorry to hear about your dog and I really think a vet appointment is necessary. Wishing you all the best and please keep us updated.

Please take your dog to a vet.

Hello Mary and welcome to Dogsey .

I would take your little dog to the vets ASAP.
There could be a number if reasons this is happening.
My elderly Mini Amy had a heart murmur caused by age related heart failure , she began having 'episodes' when she fell over very similar to your description above.
I guessed it might related to her heart condition and the vet confirmed this and prescribed a medication called an ACE inhibitor (Ramipril) which improved her cardiovascular function and the episodes stopped. Amy lived for another 5 years to the age 16.

I would be very concerned if it was my dog and would suspect heart problems. Hope you get her sorted and she will be ok.x
