seizure in maltese

my dog keeps gagging as if shes choking on something, shes a two year old maltese, it came on all of a sudden, im concerned, what can i do to help?

s now back to normal and while speaking with the vet, he agreed and felt it was not a seizure or IVD. Her symptoms included, yelping and crying in pain, curling her head back toward her back above her tail, since that seemed to be where the pain was, walking around for hours, because every time she tried to lay down, it was more painful, stretching with butt in air to try to relieve pain.

Mine died the day after she had her first seizure. She was a pure breed maltese almost 2 years old, 4 lb - very small so the doctor thought maybe she had a congenital defect, liver shunt. Never had the time to find out the cause. I am also searching for answers, but from what I have read, having 3 seizures a day seems a lot. In case your dog has liver shunt, keep her on low protein diet and don't feed her any "beef" treats.

My Maltese is 13 months old and is now in heat. I actually had an appointment to have her spayed next week. I know nothing about this. How long does it last, how long will she bleed, is it painful for her, how long do I wait now to have her spayed? Sorry for all the questions but I don't have a clue.

By November - Thanksgiving seizures were lasted for 1/2 hour coming in clusters. Phenobarbital was perscribed and slowly increased. Testing in hospital did not reveal anything. Three doctors including neurologist examined him and oversaw medication. By December seizures were happening every month lasting 1 hour. Further blood work, MRI and Cat scan did not reveal any abnormalities. Next few months seizures were happening every three weeks until death. We are devasted ....

My maltese Valentine (who passed tonight) used to do this as a little one. The vet said that the maltese can be a very stressed out, high maintenance, or nervous dog and that's why she was doing it. You could always take him to the vet but as far as I know they don't make doggy bite guards so you may be stuck with the grinding or he may grow out of it...

There are also lamb/rice bones for treats. Treats are in the morning, meals in the evening.

I have 2 dogs, a Maltese and a Yorkie. They will both be turning 1 Dec. 16, and we got them both together so they have grown up together and all that. The maltese is a bit more shy and reserved while my yorkie is more out going and yappy. I have always been more attached to the maltese cuz he's more sweet, hes a mommy's boy and the yorkie likes my husband more since they play rough and is a bit aggressive.

can you read my thread in dog with serious skin rash cant seem to post it as a question.

3 year old Maltese has recently started eating poop when he is out in the yard. I have 2 dogs the maltese and a terrier mix. The Maltese is paper trained but when he goes outside he eats the teriers poop. What could be wrong? Any ideas?

If you want to, you can ask (but doc may refuse) if you may also take home a single dose of diazepam, to give your dog at home in case he has a break-through seizure that will not stop in a few minutes. If so, it will come in a syringe, and must be kept cold until use.Have the vet educate you on how and when to use it. I hope I have helped here.

Steroids are one of the important medications to treat asthma in cats and are necessary and can be life saving in serious cases. All medications, even those considered natural have side effects. The benefits do outweigh the risks in most cases if used appropriately. I really do recommend that you have a chest X-Ray if asthma is suspected. I also recommend that you follow your vets advise.

So I have a 7month old maltese. While I am at work I let my in laws take care of her and my in law takes care of other dogs (male or female). For some reason.. My female Maltese stomach has been growing outrageously big..not typical for a regular maltese weight/size. I'm thinking she may be pregnant but I'm not sure if she can be at such a young age. The only thing i also notice differently is that she is more relaxed (laying down all the time) & always out of breath. Any thoughts?

The small dog ( maltese) was playing with our golden doodle and all of a sudden the beagle mix went after the maltese. She bit the maltese's ear ( a scratch) but I am concerned about what would have happened if we hadn't been there to stop her. She has only attacked once before in the four months that we have had her.

There is always a danger that something could go wrong during whelping, no matter how carefully you plan things. Toy breeds are even more prone to difficulties during whelping just based on their tiny size. However, there are many other important things that should be considered before breeding your dog.

My 5 year old maltese x shitzu sometimes walks around funny. She seems like she is sleep walking, she does not know what or where she is going she does, however, respond but seems very confused. She did this a couple of times when she was younger. Thank fully it rarely happens and every time it happens it always ends with her going to the toilet. By this we also think she is busting but it is strange how she seems so confused.

My female Maltese is nursing 3/4 week old pups and has a ear infection is this safe ?

I have a 7-year-old Maltese named Hip-Hip and he is 20 lbs. I know that he is purebred because my mother owns his parents and I saw him being born. :) He was diagnosed with Pituitary Cushing's Disease when he was only 6 years old. As far as I know, that is pretty young to be diagnosed with Cushing's. Also, all of the Maltese puppies that were bred from the two parents ended up being very small (10 lbs was the biggest one aside from Hip-Hip).

Can I use Besivance in my dogs eyes? He has an eye infection. He is totally blind and is 16 years old.

I just got back from my vet, here in CT. I too have a Maltese (8yr.old female) and she was acting very simliar to what you've described. However, with very different results from the vet. I was showed an xray of her belly, and it appears that all of this discomfort is simply due to a build up of GAS!! And do you know what he prescribed.....1 Gas X pill. That was it, I couldn't believe it. Sometimes we struggle with what might just be as simple as that.

My 15 year old Maltese Oliver was diagnosed with kidney failure on April 7th, 2014. He spent two in a half days at the pet clinic being flushed of all the toxins and hooked up to IV's. His BUN was 157 at the time he was admitted, but bloodwork was done the morning of his release- BUN now is 75 (still too high), leveled back to normal. Vet told me to make him comfortable and that he basically had 2-3 months left. I am heartbroken.

We bred our 3 yr old maltese the week of Feb 25, We took her to the vet on her supposedly 40 day and they said we would have to bring her in 2 weeks later. I have been sick and unable to take her. She is due the last week of March but hasn't started showing yet. I think she is a little bigger than normal but not sure. She weighs 6 lbs and the father weighs only 5. Could she still start showing this late?

Is there a nutritious milk replacement recipe for my one week old Maltese puppy? One puppy is not eating or growing as much as the other two. I would like to help him by bottle feeding.

My dog ( maltese) is 8 months old, about 4kg, and I doubt that he swallow more than 5 pills of eltroxin 100mcg since about 6 hours .I went to a vet he said he can’t do anything. I am afraid , what to do?

Hi, I have been speaking with a maltese breeder over the past few days and came very close to purchasing a puppy from her. She mentioned that the dog was born with a slight underbite...that she did not notice this at first but the vet pointed it out to her. I expressed concern that this would become very apparent as the dog matured and it's adult teeth came in. She said that her vet said it would not change the appearance of the dog.

My 6 month old Maltese was requested by the vet to get a booster vaccination. Minutes after the injection she fainted and her tongue and gums lost colur. 4 hours later she died. She'd had monthly check ups and was a happy, healthy energetic pup prior to the booster. Is it possible they gave her too much medicine?
