My dog is sick

Desoto is sick and I am scared out of my mind. Last night he was upstairs with me in my bedroom when he collapsed in a heap on the floor and went unconscious. I have never seen anything like it - he just went boneless then lost control of his bladder. I thought he was dead and started screaming. After a couple of minutes he came around a little bit and tried to get up, but couldn't. He laid on the floor with his head on my lap as I cried my eyes out for about 20 minutes. Then after a bit, he came around and got up. He shook himself and then he seemed fine, wagging his tail and wanting to go outside. This morning, he still seems fine, although he is a little shaky, but he ate and drank like normal.

I called the vet and am going in today to have him examined, and I am terrified that he is really sick. So any positive energy you can send his way would be appreciated.

Awww, I'm sorry to hear of your doggie's bout of sickness. Your story freaks me out, I hope he will be fine, the poor thing. Perhaps he ate something bad? - or something in your new yard is not agreeing with him?

I've given a prayer for your little one, because I know what it's like go through watching your pet when he/she is sick. I wish they could talk.

He's beautiful by the way, and Pete is right, he looks very strong and healthy... I'm sending my very positive vibes your way!
