From what I can make out of your post, you dog could probably due with a checkover from a vet. Explain whats been going on and maybe get some professional opinions.

Just a friendly tip, might be easier for others to respond to your post if you take the time to type things out in proper English. Some of us don't speak text talk.

2 issues i can see:

you need to explain things in a way people can understand

and you need to speak to a person that deals with medical issues, ie, a vet.

Is he well apart from this? If he is having fits, it may be as you say that the heat was a factor, or it could be that the vet needs to keep an eye on him. If the vet confirms it is epilepsy, have a look at this article: http://www.dogsey.com/dog-articles.php?t=14937. However, these seizures could be caused by other things, so see the vet first.

there are such things as dyslexia, or language difficulties, my sister is deaf and as brainy as she is she can't write proper english as her 1st language is sign language. Please think before you critisise, if this was my sister posting this I would be highly offended. It's a dog forum, not an English Language forum.

I'm sorry your dog is poorly Lisa, I'm afraid I have no experiece of fits, but I would agree that he definately needs a vet check up, asap xxx

as you say, but people can generally tell text speak when they see it and know the difference.

after all, everyone else on the thread saw and said the same thing.

text talk or not....i think you should take him to a vets or maybe ring the vets and ask their opinion, it maybe his ears...it could be a range of things but something more serious might be going on...good luck.....or gd luk

HI, I agree you should go to the vets. It could be a new onset of epilepsy or even some kind of heat stroke There is a possibility of stroke or mini stroke or if he was stunned like that during exercise there could be an underlying heart condition. I don't mean to scare you but it should not be left.

Agree with both comments.

Its very difficult for us oldies to understand text talk, so it woudl be much better you worded your posts so we can understand them.

Also agree, you need to take your dog to a vet, and tell them the symptoms he has had.,
