scary--anyone ever experienced this?
Submitted by Bernata and Ang... on April 20, 2010 - 11:25pmMy 10 year old girl Lily last night run to my husband after he came back home, she usually gets very excited...then she just dropped on the ground, flat on her side not being able to get up for a while. I did not see her fall, my husband said "something happened to Lily" I ran to her, she was just flat on the floor, breathing but not moving. I picked her up gently and moved her to her bed, after a couple of minutes she picked up and was OK. I am very concerned, I am going to see the vet. She is a hefty girl (her arthritis, she is not moving much, but healthy otherwise to the best of my knowledge). I worry that with age something else is kicking in...could that be that she got overexcited and her little heart is just taxed? I am still shaking, I barely slept all night worrying and checking on her all the time (she sleeps with me in bed). Any ideas? She is my best friend and my baby and I am just dying inside thinking something is wrong ...

Very scary!
Do you think it may have been a vomit drop?

I'll be having good thoughts for sweet Lily.

kind of
One of my guys did it one day about a year ago. No reason for it, he just laid down. It was almost like he had a little seizure. I scooped him up, @ 70 lbs no small feat, brought him inside and with a min he was fine. like nothing happened.
It has not happened since. I was scared, but since it only happened once and nothing since I was not to worried about it. Maybe I did not want to know, but we left it alone and have had no problems.
Good luck!!! Let us know what it is!!!
Thanks

not a bully but my dobie used to do it
Whenever Beau went to the vet and got overstimulated(playdates etc) he would just keel over. Scared us to death that there was something seriously wrong with him but our vet said some dogs just do it. No real explanation. When Beau would get back up he was fine.....never did know what it was and he lived to be 13 yrs old.

To those who understand no explanation is needed. To those who don't no explanation is possible.
yes...
Happened to us a little over 2 years ago to our then 9 year old Beulah. She was coming to greet me when I came home, then kind of stopped, seemed to heave then continued on slowly right inside the door and collapsed....layed there a while, breathing but unresponsive, so we rushed to to vet....by the time we got there, she was fine. She was checked--all was well. We don't know for sure what happened. I thought the heaving might have been her trying to get some phlegm up, that then covered the windpipe causing her to lose her breath and faint....but probably we'll never know. She's 11 now. It hasn't happened again.
hey mark
I emailed you about Belle's visit to the vet, hope all went well. I have heard of fainting goats but never fainting bullies.........i wonder if it is a neuro misfire?
