It does sound like a seizure, and contrary to how awful it looks, seizures are not painful. It's also not uncommon for older dogs to develop seizure activity. Call your vet and have him make a note of the episode in your dogs's chart. Make sure you tell him the time of day the seizure happened as well. It may be a one-time occurrence - or not. If the seizures become more commonplace, phenobarbitol is one medication that most vets start with to control them.
s symptoms have completely changed, now the seizures are in form of a kind of hallucination. I am sitting in my office..in vroad daylight, but in front of my eyes...i am in some other place...in evening time,...with some different family/ doing something completely different (it keeps changing)..if its a family also...i am so much there that i feel i have always been a part of it...or the other work i am doing in my second world is what i have been doing all my life. Stuck between 2 worlds...
The symptoms include temporary loss of sensation in any part of the body, black outs, vision loss, tingling, loss of function of a limb etc. It is common in people with high blood pressure, diabetes, peripheral vascular disease, and high cholesterol.
Generally this can happen several times before an actual stroke happens. This is a warning sign for the body. If you have such episodes, then you must get them evaluated immediately.
These could also be alcohol related seizures.
The yelping before hand might make you wonder if there is something hurting him that could be causing the seizure, something inside him that the approaching seizure triggers causing him pain, or if it just his way of responding to the approaching seizure? In Idiopathic Epilepsy the vocalizations prior to the seizure are said to be involuntary and not painful.

The drinking afterward could possibly be diabetic related.
ve never had these before now, i am currently 26 weeks pregnant and i have been having tremors all day, along with body aches that are indescribable. Last night during dinner i started having a seizure and felt as though i was a ball of tension that was going to explode. I went on to have 3 seizures last night, and afterward i got extremely upset and my body seemed to be falling apart. These symptoms make me feel terrible, i went for an E.E.
t here, but my mother, who is a nurse, said he was fine, when all of the sudden he had a seizure, flipped over on his back with legs extended and shaking, eyes rolled back in his head, and was dead within a minute.
I know Golden's are prone to epileptic conditions and this certainly appears to have been a seizure, but he was perfectly healthy, had never had a seizure before whatsoever, nothing even close, and all of the sudden this happens.
I do not fall under any category I fall under many categories but the fact that I have a lapse in memory loss I have twitching in parts of my limbs that are completely random sometimes I have a sensation of sweat and heat. so the new symptom is that I get Goosebumps so my hair stands up on end very frequently. I suffer from migraines. I do also have a thyroid disease that is under the category of an auto immune disease.
In adults, MNDs occur more commonly in men than in women, with symptoms appearing after age 40, that doesn't mean it never happens in women in their 30's because it definitely can but it is one heck of a giant leap to connect something that only lasts 1-3 seconds with anything like an MND.
Q:Anyone know what this could be?
A: I double checked all the physiological explanations i'm aware of and what you've described isn't suggestive or consistent with anything serious...
I think also that it would be helpful to track seizure type. I wrote a couple from memory, and looked up a couple others.
Hi, how are you feeling now and how about your sleep now a days. Such episodes does cause sleep disturbacne and restlessness in some of people. It could be a night terror or a nighmare. Too much stressed body and mind do not get proper rest and may be a triggering factor. You need to see a neurologist if symptoms worsens further. Keep posting your thoughts. Take care.
Did the doctor do an EEG? If not, he has no way of knowing it's not a seizure unless she did this in the office. Has your child's diet changed? Many children start cereal at 4 months. If so, you may want to get off of it until you get into another doctor to get that second opinion.
Good luck and God Bless.

There are some that involve staring off and only last a minute or two. Some involved stiffening of the body only. Google seizure types. The only way to tell if it is a true seizures is having an eeg within 24 hours of the seizure, it will show abnormal brain activity. My brothers seizures always show in the right temporal lobe of the brain. His are controlled now with antiseizure meds. If you have seizures pregnancy can make them worse. You need to see a neurologist for proper diagnosis.
It is caused by a temporary abnormal electrical activity of a group of brain cells. The medical syndrome of recurrent, unprovoked seizures is termed epilepsy, but some seizures may occur in people who do not have epilepsy”. Taken from http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seizure
What are the symptoms? Have any of you seen the seizures while it is happening?
My 30 year old brother has Autism, Aspergers, ADHD, mild depression, a history of seizures and a heart murmur. All of which have been managed for the past 12-20 years with various common prescribed medications. The medications he is currently taking have been the same dose for at least the past 10 years. A week ago, he started complaining of joint pain, fatigue, loss of appetite, headaches, and in general he stated "He didn't feel himself.".
Docorate is a medication approved for treatment of psychiatric symptoms, and not generally used to treat siezures. In many U.S. practices the drill is only to prescribe medications to control siezures after the third documented siezure. That is not to say the medication is innapropriate. There are many unanswered questions regarding the patient's symptoms and general medical status.
From my month or so of symptoms, I have most of those. Others will be able to give you a better answer hopefully to help you. My eye has been blurry/blind for 2 weeks or so. I still have vibrations that feels cellphones are wrapped around my chest area, and just drop to my knees. Happens in less than a second. Started with 2 maybe 3 an hour. Last day or so it happens 2-3 times a minute it seems.
