Boston Terrier- sudden shaking and panting

19 15:29:08

Question
My 5 year old boston terrier has a sensitive stomach but otherwise is a normal dog. Lately she's been shaking and panting all of a sudden for apparently no reason when my husband comes home. She's done it to me a few times too, usually out of nowhere. She also doesn't eat about once a week because her stomach (probably) hurts, but i am not sure if that is related to the shaking-panting fits. She doesn't 'lose contact' like a epileptic fit. Its very weird and scaring me! Its been going on for at least 4 months.

Though I am not a Vet. I would say it sounds like your girl is having mild seizures. I am sorry but this is out of my realm and I would suggest that you take her to a vet.
My boston will get the shakes in excitement, but the added panting gives me concern. Please let me know what the vet says.
Best to you...Lisa
