Ok, so when I told my hubby about it possibly not being seizures that Daisy has had, but rather a back problem that could possibly leave her paralyzed; he too was extremely worried. I tried to call our vet today, but she was not in today. There are many other vets at our office, but she is the only one that we really trust and like the most. She is the best! I will try again tomorrow.
Would anyone happen to know what the name of this spinal disorder would be? I want to research it as much as possible!
I was also wondering..., there is a specific spot on Daisy that when you touch it, she will yelp. I haven't tried to find this spot on purpose because I don't want to hurt her, obviously. It does not happen very often, so we just are always extremely careful about picking her up. My husband or I are the only people allowed to pick her up because of it, and even then we are beyond careful to not get her in this spot. We guessed it was either somewhere in her belly area or her back. Would this be another marker of the spinal disorder? Since she was a rescue, we really don't know what happended to her before coming to us, but from what we saw in her, it was not good.
I feel so horrible for not thinking more about all of this before now! We brought her to the vet when we first got her, and they gave her a check over and said with the exception of a rotten tooth, she was healthy. Of course, she had not had any episodes at that point. We were later told just to keep an eye on her episodes, and if they occured frequently to bring her in. I hope we have not over-looked something by doing so! She has not had one of her episodes in about 2 months, and before that it had been several months. We had been told that it was common for Beagles in our area (due to over-breeding??) to have seizures and not to worry about it too much unless they became more frequent.
Thank you so much to whom ever can give me any more info!
