4 Year Old Chihuahua/Jack Russel Mix and Seizures

Do you have a regular vet? If so, give him a call and leave a message for him to call you back when he has a minute to discuss what you observed.

Has she had vaccinations recently? Flea/tick preventives? Been exposed to chemically treated lawns?
Keep an eye on her, if it happens again I would take her to the vet.

There are many types of seizures, some are mild and only a trained veterinary healthcare professional would see it. If it happens once a month or more or the seizures are severe, prescription meds may be recommended by the examining vet.

I would be careful about seeking veterinary medical advice online, facebook and such.
Lot’s of misinformation.

Only a veterinarian that has examined your pet can diagnose and treat. They will not nor should they give medical advice online unless they know your pet and it’s history.

There are no veterinarians affiliated with DFA.

PS: Did she get into something toxic? Was the kibble old? Anybody drop a pill or supplement on the floor?
However, seizures can have many triggers, impossible to speculate. Avoiding triggers is only part of treatment, see what the vet thinks.
Let’s hope this was a fluke….
Good luck
