Hello,
I have a 9-year old female Standard Poodle. On Monday night, she attempted to get up from lying down on the carpet next to me, but was unable to do so. She thrashed around and got very agitated, but was not able to move her legs to get to her feet. I held her tightly for several minutes while trying to calm her down. She calmed down a little but started panting and quivering. I kept talking to her and petting her to keep her as calm as possible. After about 15 minutes whe was able to get up and walk around.
I don't know if this was an epileptic episode or not. Has anybody our there in Standard Poodle land had such an experience with his/her Poodle? This is not the first time this has happened to her, but it has been many months since the last experience.
Thank you for any advice you can give me.
