Once in a while my dog will start to shake and he seems to loose all control of his muscles and his eyes get real big. This last for about two to three minutes. Sometimes he just shakes and growls . He is a choloate lab about five years old he weighs about onehundred and twenty pounds and is on thyroide medication. We are jus afraid that one day he is not going to come out of it. Can anyone help us?

It sounds like he is having a seizure, you need to get him to a vet immediately to figure this out

It sounds like seizures. To help the Vet see what type of seizure your dog is having take a video of when it happens (only if it happens before you bring him to the vet). He might need to go on another medication to calm his seizures. Also make a journal of how many times a day it happens, if it's morning, afternoon, evening, or middle of night, how long it lasts each time. Please call the vet and make an appointment this is very serious and it could get worse.

It sounds like he's having seizures you need to take him to the vet and try to keep him still during the seizures and on the trip to the vet so if he has one in the car he won't get hurt.

It sounds like your dog has epileptic seizures. You need to talk to your vet about these fits your dog has and describe them to him. There are medications that can probably keep this under control and you won't have to worry about him having them again.

if your dog is on thyroid medicines, his dosage may need to be adjusted. take him to the vet and ask them to do a pheno barb level test. (around $50). sometimes they have to have the level of phenobarbital either increased or decreased. but at any case you should consult your vet because it is a seizure that your dog is having. good luck

sounds like a seizure. have you called/talked to your vet about this? If not then you need to. It could be a serious condition or a reaction to the medication. at least ask the vet about it ASAP.

You need to bring him to the vet. But do not worry about this to much, because I have a dog that shakes when he is exited.

I would HIGHLY suggest to make you vet aware of this. It almost sounds like sezurie activity. However, you would need to make sure your vet know what is going on and would be your best answer to this problem. Good luck and God Bless!
