Fits

Sudden uncontrolled spasmodic movements, often with champing of the jaw and usually accompanied by salivation. The dog may fall onto his side. there may be violent twitching of the muscles across the top of the head and down the neck.

ACTION Remove the collar if it is tight, and be sure that the dog cannot injure himself. Make sure that he can breathe by holding the head and neck extended if necessary. Keep in a darkened and quiet room until you get help, and prevent all sudden noises - door bells, slamming door etc.

Most fits are over quite rapidly. Make a note of the exact signs shown by your dog and seek professional help as soon as possible.
