aussie having seizure like episodes in hind legs

Question
our Aussie started displaying spasm like episodes last week in her hind legs. it is almost like she is momentarily paralyzed. she then falls to the ground. at first it happened after a day of playing, now it is happening quite often.she is always aware during these episodes.she eats well, and shows no other signs of distress. she is almost 2yrs old.Today she started slowly going in circles and then falling down. i am hoping for some insight before i take her to the vet..thank you.

Answer
There are quite a few conditions that can cause such episodes, so the only advice I can give you is to see a vet right away.  Aussies are prone to epilepsy, but neurological symptoms can occur for many reasons, some simple and easily cured, some not so.  But she is in need of medical attention - please do not wait.


Hi.  Just thought I'd check in to see how your dog is doing.
