dizzy spell??? as my dog couldnt get up

Question
Hi , I have a maltese shitzu 5 years old, she went to move herself tonight to be more comfortable on the couch but couldnt. picked her and then put her on the floor. she couln't move herself. just sat there. picked her up and then after about a minute or so she was normal. she had a drink from her bowl and then was able to pee in the back yard. she was ok about 2 minutes after this eposide. what could this be?? she had 2 tablets of cortisone (instead of one tablet by mistake) this morning by mistake for a neck problem which is now much better and she has been normal for the last day or so. peter

Answer
Peter - I am sure this was a scare!  Be careful on the cortisone pills - many adverse side effects - Don't overdose her...Ok  ( be careful)
Sounds like she may have had a muscle spasm?  Hard to say!  If this happens again, you may want to get some Doggie Massage for her. Talk to your vet to see if they know of any Dog Massage people in your area.
