Does anyone know why a 2 month old puppy might have seizures? My mom got a Shih Tzu puppy a couple of weeks ago for my younger sister. It started having seizures last Friday and has had them everyday since then. Sometimes 10 a day. She took it to the vet and they did blood work. The only thing that was wrong with her was her blood sugar was low. She had one right after they left the vet so my mom turned around and took her right back. They did blood work again and her blood sugar was fine. They said maybe it was her liver. So my mom took her back to the vet on Monday and the pup stayed there all day so they could observe her and do some more blood work. They couldn't really find anything wrong with her, and she kept having seizures so they drugged her up. She had even more yesterday so they recommended some doggy neurologist up in Silver Spring. So my mom took her up there and she stayed the night so they could run some tests on her today. They said it might be something they can't fix and that she will more than likely need to be put to sleep. And b/c she's had so many seizures she more than likely has brain damage now.
I know it would probably be best for them to put her to sleep b/c she's hurting so bad. Everytime she has one she starts crying afterwards b/c her muscles hurt and she can barely walk, let alone eat or drink water. I just wanted to know what could cause this. Is this something common for Shih Tzu's? It's just so heartbreaking to see her like this. :sad:
