Anxiety attacks?

[Taz_Zoee]

Yeah, taking her to the vet while it is happening is what I want to do.
Unfortunately, while she having them the worst is in the middle of the night. She did have a mild attack at 8 that morning, but the lady at the vet said the doctor wouldn't be in for an hour so there was no point in taking her in. And then when she had another mild one at 10 Bruce wasn't ready to take her.
But that is the plan if it happens during vet hours. I am even considering taking her to a different vet for a second opinion.

Thank you all for your responses and I will keep you updated on her condition.

I was at our vet yesterday with my other dog, Hannah, for a different issue, but while I was there I raised the problem about Tucker. One thing the vet wanted to know was if the episodes Tucker has had were at the same time of day. Well, I hadn't made a record and couldn't remember. He said there are some situations where a liver problem could cause this and it might relate to when he had eaten. He recommended that we keep track of how often and exactly when each episodes happen. He also said that if there were any more, we should bring Tucker in for evaluation, something we had not done yet since there had only been two and they didn't seem that bad.

I had read in the article Bob's Dad sent to me on epilepsy about it occuring around the same time of day. But in Zoee's case it has been random. Once during the day while we were not home and mostly they are at night.
I hope you can find out what is wrong with Tucker. His sounds a bit more extreme than Zoee's. I mean less occurance but more severe symptoms.
What breed is Tucker? How old is he? Just curious...

Sounds like they didn't check for low blood sugar, (hypoglycemia) That in itself could cause seizures. I assumed when they did a complete blood profile they had includued a liver profile. That's the way our vet does it. Maybe you should insist they be thorough this time around.

Tucker is a cocker spaniel and we think he is about 10 years old. (He's adopted) We've had him for 7 years

Awe, our DJ was a Cocker. He only made it to almost 9 years old.
Give Tucker some hugs from us!!
