[quote=Anonymous]Thanks all PPs.  I no longer live in DC and the closest vet ER to me is an hour.  I did call them and they told me that if my dog seemed ok when I was there, I was looking at a several hour long wait.

DH and I decided to not put us or our dog through that.  Being a pandemic puppy/young dog, she is super reactive and nervous.

I figured out her seizure (?) was caused by a reaction to one of her toys.  We toss it off the loft balcony for her and she runs to get it and comes back for another toss.  Sometimes she sits and chews on it for a while.  We do this for an hour every day b4 her dinner.  I determined that as this toy (stuff less with squeakers) was made in China there is a high chance it contains lead.  Repeated pressure (chewing) and dog saliva causes maximum release of the lead and god know what else toxins.

Anyway 24 hours post the seizure/tremor episode, she is doing fine.

I was shocked to see how there are no quality control standards on dog toys.  For example, tennis balls for people have less toxin than tennis balls for dogs!  Shocking when one adds in the fact that people are NOT chewing and salivating on their tennis balls.

What do you think about all this? [/quote]
