My dog screams during seizures. Is this normal or a sign of pain?

Thank you for submitting your question regarding your dog. I recommend that he sees an emergency veterinarian today. Screaming and shaking typically represent pain in dogs. Small breed dogs are prone to neck and/or back pain. The muscles lining the spine can spasm causing excruciating pain. In more severe cases, a bulging or swollen disc can place pressure on the spinal cord creating neurological problems. Of course, there are other causes of pain. His veterinarian will examine him carefully and direct you on treatment based on these results. In the meantime, keep him quiet and do not give any over-the-counter pain medications as these can be toxic to dogs. I hope this information helps!

Thank you for submitting your question regarding Bailey. I recommend that he see a veterinarian. He could have experienced a seizure and is taking a while to recover. If this is not the case, small breed dogs are prone to neck and/or back pain. This is a potentially serious situation as it can lead to weak or paralysis in certain cases. His veterinarian will be able to guide as far as treatment based on his exam findings. In the meantime, keep him quiet and do not give any over-the-counter pain medications as these can be toxic to dogs. I hope this information helps!

No, this is not normal and may indicate she is having trouble moving enough air and oxygen around. I strongly recommend you contact your vets office and advise them of her progress, it is likely she requires additional treatment in order to stabilise her condition and may require a blood transfusion if very severely anemic

Dream bahaviour patterns can be very varied and a wide range of sounds and movements can be considered as normal (as can open or blinking eyes). I recommend you video the episodes and ask your vet or vet nurse to review them if you are concerned

I'm sorry to hear that Mozza is having such severe seizures. While I do not think that seizures cause true pain, it sounds as though her quality of life is severely diminished. Recurrent or prolonged seizure activity can cause significant elevations in body temperature and subsequent brain damage. At this point, Mozza should see a vet immediately to evaluate her current neurologic status. Your vet will be able to discuss euthanasia or seizure management options, should you choose to pursue them. I'm sorry that you are all in this situation.

Hi there, it sounds like Chip may be having seizures. This is an emergency and I urge you to take him in immediately, as they can usually be treated in hospital if this is the case. They will help you determine the cause if they can. I hope this helps and I wish you the best.

Yes, anxiety and aggression are very common in and around seizures. Ideally you would not move her, unless she is a position to fall and hurt herself. Placing soft bedding around her and turning lights and volume of tv etc down can also help. Frequent or prolonged seizures should be assessed for preventive treatment by your vet
