Ever seen or heard of this?

I've never heard anything like that. This would weird me out too.
I think I'd probably call the Vet or take Eli in for a check up.(I'm a
worrier)

I can just imagine taking him in and trying to explain it.. I'd lose it. I close my eyes and see his sad little face with the messed up eyes and I tear up.

We'll definitely be going in if it happens again. And I'm keeping my camera phone right here to get proof of it if it does happen.

The more I think about it.. I wonder if he had too much food and was choking? He didn't act like it though. And he's not a speed eater.. I just don't know.

He's staying right by me all day so I can keep watch. That's for sure.

It sounds like a minor seizure. My friend's Doberman use to have something like this go on every so often. He would also lightly shake his head. It was like he was telling you "no". I would keep a close eye on him for sure. I hope it's nothing bad.

Wow Thank you.
I googled dog seizure and pulled up a site that lists a Petit Mal Seizure with one symptom being upward rotation of the eyes. That could definitely be it.
I called my vet and she said since it hasn't reoccurred, she wasn't sure. Suggested that maybe he just took too big of a bite of food.. Like I had thought.
He wasnt doing anything else other than having the eye issue. He was standing fine, turned to look at me and then turned back at his bowl and then back at me again. No shaking or muscle spasms...
He'll definitely be under watch now though.
I'm glad I work from home now. Geez.
If anything else happens, we're jumping in the car and going, no doubt about that.
Thank you again, Lute, for your post (and everyone else).

I've had many customers who describe their dog's seizures including the phrase, " ... and then his eyes rolled back into his head ... ". So, could definately be a seizure, a mild one. I'd just watch closely for any more. Usually the vet wants somewhat of a history of seizures before starting diagnosis or treatment.

Thank you for your reply as well.
What a scary thing.. geez. Seizure didnt even cross my mind once until it was posted on here. I'm glad I posted.
Nothing else out of the ordinary today. He's definitely eating and drinking fine (Vet Assistant asked that). He just runs around and plays like nothing ever happened.
We'll definitely be watching him though.
Thanks again.

Eli just had another seizure tonight. Oddly enough, its one month today since the last time.

He was asleep on our bed, got up and came across the hallway and into the office, where we both are and sat down. I looked at him and his eyes were messed up (which we've now decided that its his third eyelid coming up over his eye). This time he also was curving his body (tail included) to the right. It only lasted a minute or two, just long enough for me to see it, get J's attention so she could see it for herself. We just held him in his place until it stopped.

I'll be calling my vet tomorrow morning for sure.
(And I'm not calling the dumb lady at the other office that I called last time. 'Maybe he swallowed to big of a bite..')
