I have a 2.5 yr old Beagle called Dexter - he is an absolutely lovely dog. This afternoon he started acting strange. He was running loopy round the garden (even though he is a bit mad this was more mad than usual!) and whenever he stopped he would stand for a bit, then his back end would start to wobble, then his back end would collapse and he would sort of lay in a real awkward position sort of swaying from side to side. He repeated this a few times, this was at about 2pm, by 2.30pm I had him at vets. By the time we were at vets he could still walk but kept losing balance, he seemed unaware of the other dogs in the vets which again is really rare for him - he is a very over excitable dog!
By the time vet saw him he had very pink eye lids, was not prodcing saliva, was dribbling wee and swaying all over the place.
He is still at vets and I am now sick with worry, vet has run bloods which are normal, they think either poison, central nervous system problem or stroke type thing - so basically they are not really sure. he has not shown signs of improvement. He has never demonstrated this type of symptoms before.
I am so, so worried.... does anyone have any ideas, expereinced something like this.... any help really appreciated!
Here is a picture of him healthy http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?pid=2421068&l=685854058e&id=707351492
