Last night around 10 p.m, Rocky began to have a seizure. He didn't lose control of his bladder, but all the muscles in his body started spasming and at one point he even try to claw at his face. I later found a large tick on the floor which Cameron thinks was on his mouth and he was trying to get it off. He was drooling a lot, so I called the animal ER and they said it was most likely a seizure caused by maybe something he got into. He had just gone outside twice that evening, and we're pretty sure he got into something out there though not sure what. I also noticed he was looking especially fat or bloated in the abdomen.
About 20-25 minutes after the seizure he ended up puking up what looked like his 3 meals he had today. Cameron and I both decided that from now on he isn't allowed to roam free outside and will have to be put on a lead, since we are not sure what he got into.
This morning I went ahead and took him for our run on the trails, we ran 7 miles and he did great, no issues. I then took him over the riverbank for no real reason, I just wanted to watch the sun rise. Rocky has poor judgement when comes to depth perception and water, as he was trying to get down to get a drink he fell in. I tried to coax him towards a spot where he could get out, but he wouldn't listen and kept trying to climb up a spot where the water is a foot below the bank. Within seconds after he fell in, I realized he was going to climb out by himself and I could tell he was already getting tired and ready to give up. I dropped my phone and reached down and grabbed him by his collar and the scruff of his neck, and I pulled him out. It was a scary experience, for sure.
