I had a seizure tonight! Not a big, scary seizure with convulsions or status epilepticus or anything like that. More like a complex partial motor seizure. I was shaking and panting and staring off into space. Thing is I also lost function in my legs which scared Mom to death because she thought my back had gone out. Needless to say, it meant a late night trip to the e-vet. By the time I got there I had better use of my legs, and by the time we left I was walking fine. So, the vet said limited exercise and lots of observation to make sure I don't have another seizure anytime soon. The last one I had (that was observed) was last Christmas Eve. Same deal though. No convulsions or anything. And no history of frequent seizures to merit a diagnosis of epilepsy. Still...scary stuff! Especially since the symptoms mimick those of a ruptured disk. Shaking and panting mimick the pain of a back injury, and certainly the loss of the use of my back legs was worrisome. Yikes! Mom told me not to have any more seizures because they be scary!
