Can you possibly diagnose my dog's sickness? General Dog Discussions
Please don't respond to this unless you have experience with this situation or understand what you're talking about. So, I recently went on vacation to cancun. My husband and I placed our dog in a nearby kennel and planned for him to stay there eight nights. In the middle of the week, I got a call saying that my dog, Springer Spaniel, had two seizures at the kennel. The first seizure lasted thirty seconds. He seemed a little confused after it stopped, but then he carried on. The second seizure lasted a minute and he still remained pretty normal after. He has never had a seizure before and is a very healthy dog. The only other problem he had dealt with in the past was a torn meniscus, but I don't think that plays a role in the seizures. The kennel rushed him to the vet and she took some blood tests. His white blood cell count is very high and she had mentioned something with his liver. The vet said many of these cases deal with lyme disease, but he was recently checked and it is not likely. After being examined the next few days, the vet gave him medication for the seizures and he threw up. He has never experienced anything like this before and I don't understand where it is coming from. He is a healthy springer spaniel, age 6, 50 pounds, and is very active. If you have any experience with this as a doctor or through your own dog, please comment. I don't want people commenting "I don't know" underneath because that doesn't help. Thanks
