    Default I'm worried

    Yesterday Spencer had a "spell". He was falling over, the one side of his face was pulled up. It appeared as though he was still with it. Trying to get over to me.
    This happened one time before about 6 months ago and I chalked it up to stress from the little ones living here. I talked to the vet and he said to just watch him.
    So, yesterday he did it again. Now there was no stress yesterday, but Saturday I had a house full of people here for Corey's birthday. The other thing I was wondering was, I have tried to introduce kibble to them. Only reason is that in my absence, and someone wouldn't feed them raw, theywould eat kibble. Anyway, Spencer turned his nose up at it. I do know with small dogs they can get hypoglycemic fairly easily. It lasted about a minute and I was able to get him to eat a hotdog (cause there is a lot ofsugar in them) and he was fine the rest of the day.
    Seriously, after the past couple of months I don't think I could survive another loss.

    I don't have any advice either, but hugs to you. I know that must be scarey.

    It very well could've been the stress with all the people ... and I'm sure losing the other two has been stressful as well.

    Man Terry - (Big hugs) I hope he is okay and it was just a low blood sugar thing. I am sure it was very scary though - I can't even imagine going through this stress so soon.

    Spencer is somewhere around 8.He was a rescue I got 6 yrs ago and they weren't sure of his age. A TIA was what I was thinking too.
    He hasn't seemed stress with Bella gone. But then again who knows what is going on in his head.
    He is a sweetheart. He is Daisy's BFF. They are always together. He and Daisy are closer than he and Bella were.

    Did they suggest any possibilities of what it could be?
