Dog just had a seizure. What should I do?!

My dog just had a quick 30 second seizure. This is the first time he had one. His legs shook a little bit and his eyes were white he also looked like he was trying to chew something. I put him on the floor and waited until he snapped out of it. He did. I gave him water and food (which he ate a lot of) and he went to the bathroom inside the house (I was annoyed, but I was just glad he was alive!).

I know this is definitely NOT the place to be asking this but...

What should I do if this happens again? Is there a hotline number or something? Do I dial 911? Should I tell my parents to take him to a vet?

I WILL tell my parents to take him to a vet but they are on vacation so unless it is a real emergency he probably cannot see one for a few days.


Any advice?

I'm sorry, SDN is not the appropriate place for medical (or veterinary) advice.

Closing.

Jef, no one on here can give medical advice to you regarding human or animal medicine. Since you mention your dog's vet, I'd call him/her to ask for guidance. Otherwise, contact an emergency vet clinic for advice.

Closing this thread now....

edit: deppy beat me to the punch 🙂

One more note. Please don't call 911. That's only for humans who need assistance.

I do hope everything turns out okay for you and your dog.
