There are several stages of a seizure, which in Cavalier King Charles Spaniels (
dogs) are generally
expressed (to varying degrees) in these ways: changes in mood or behavior, sometimes for several days before a seizure; the «aura,» which signals the start of the seizure, can include nervousness, whining, trembling, salivation, excessive affection, wandering, restelessness, hiding, and general apprehension; the seizure itself, lasting a few seconds to a few minutes, in which the Cavalier King Charles Spaniel (
dog) may fall to the ground, lose consciousness, gnash teeth, thrash his limbs, bark, paddle his feet, and lose control of his
bladder and bowels; and the «anelean» stage, after the seizure, in which the Cavalier King Charles Spaniel (
dog) may pace, become temporarily blind or deaf, and eat or drink excessively.
We had to come up with a way to move our
dog from room to room around the house and we had to learn how to
express her
bladder to keep away potential infections.
