Hi today at around 2:30-3 my dog had what I thought was a seizure. She’s an 8 year old Pomeranian and she has been diagnosed with tracheal collapse since she was 5 and since then has been on Theophylline daily, as a bronchodilator to help with her condition. I was sitting in my living room and all of a sudden I hear my dog wailing. like she was having an awful nightmare. I tried to wake her up but she was not responding. I picked her up and she was limp then stiff.. I gave her mouth to mouth

That sounds scary! Coco needs to be examined by her veterinarian today. Her collapse could have been caused by a seizure or syncope. Pets can have seizures for many reasons including liver disease, idiopathic, electrolyte imbalance, infections, inner ear problems, cancer or epilepsy. Syncope is caused by heart disease. She will need a physical exam, ECG and bloodwork to begin to narrow down and appropriately address the cause. Seizures are serious and are best addressed early. Syncope can also be fatal if not addressed correctly. I hope this helps and please feel free to post any additional questions.
