My dog will NOT get up. He is shaking his legs trying to get up and has been like this for an hour or so and he will try to bite us if we go near him. Is this a seizure? PLEASE HELP

Get off the computer, pick up your dog, put him in the car, and take him to a vet ASAP!!!
I can't believe you've been sitting there watching him do this for an hour!!! What is wrong with you????? Good GOD!!! If my dog were having problems standing up, she'd be at the vet so fast!!!!!!!
Put on some protective gear and get someone to help you p ick him up and bring him to the vet. He sounds like he is dying - no thanks to you.

This is not a seizure when haveing a seizure a dog has no controal of there body if he is biteing at you when you approch. Call your vet then gently place a towel or blancket over the dogs eyes and head pick him up and get him in the car to the vet I hope he is OKAY.

I don't think sitting and watching your dog for an hour have a seizure is very responsible. And WHY are asking about it on here. You really need to get your dog to the vet

My dog is epileptic & has seizures. He has never bit at us. I also work for a vet & I've never had a seizure dog bite at me there either. This may be something neurological going on or the dog hurt himself & is in pain so he's lashing out. Either way, somehow get him to the vet.

hi it is best to contact a vet asap,
in the mean time, give him some Luke warm water not cold if it is a seizure he could go into shock, with some honey, or sugar, what are the colour of his gums?
above his k9 tooth press hard on his gums, and time how long it takes for the colour to refill, feel his ears and paws are the got cold? if you have a thermometer test his temp it should be 101°F and 102°F or 38.3-39.2º celcius,
are there any other symptoms, head shakes bowel movement, and is he responsive to his name or your voice.

First thing you do is talk to him, a gently relaxing voice. DONT TOUCH HIM.My dogs has seizers 2. He might bite nowmadder HOW NICE HE IS. Call a vet if NOW! Seizers are DEADLY. If it his WHOLE body then it is a 100 seizer. Try to coax him outside. It helps them when they hit the cold or something. If you have any other pets he is attached to, try to see is he notices them. If he is "down to earth" then it is probualy not a seizer, but still do the steps! hope i helped!

He will not get better with you watching him and playing on your computer. You can make a muzzle out of anything- necktie, belt, even duct tape (in a pinch). Call your local emergency clinic first, then muzzle his mouth closed for your safety and get him there ASAP. He may be having a seizure, he may have ingested a toxin- there are many possibilities and none of them are good.

This is an emergency, and your dog needs medical attention. Do whatever it takes to get the dog to a vet. ASAP.

Sounds like a possibility. Call the ER vet NOW and describe to them exactly what is happening. .
The info you get here is not from vets. Get professional help for your dog now. We can't help you, they can.

He might have had a stroke and is now suffering brain trama. It migt have damaged the part of your brain that tells you how to walk. I really recommend getting him to the vet asap. They might be able to help him. Good Luck I'm really srry it happened : (
