The most common cause of seizures in PomeraniansВ is epilepsy but can be triggered by dehydration, brain tumors, over-toxicity or poisoning, and some metabolic diseases such as Hypoglycemia or Diabetes. Some of the signs that usually accompany seizures are uncontrollable shaking of the whole body or a specific body part, fainting, falling over, running type of movement on their side, and in some cases not being able to control their bowels or urine. If your Pomeranian has never had a seizure and is not under care for seizures then it is very important that you bring them in and see a specialist. Seizures most of the time areВ typically a вЂњneurologicalвЂќ condition but are so common in Pomeranians that it needs itвЂ™s ownВ category.

If your Pomeranian falls off the sofa, bed or sustains any type of head trauma please take them immediately to your Veterinarian. Sometimes neurological disorders do not affect mental activity, as was the case with вЂњLittleвЂќ Sophia, she was kicked, which separated here vertebrae and exposed her spinal cord, progressively losing the ability to walk with her hind legs. A lethargic Pomeranian can be can range from an upset stomach to serious problems, so it is not wise to just leave it alone. A healthy Pomeranian will be happy, alert and responsive to basic commands any and all changes that may present themselves need to be addressed and requires immediate Veterinary care. Neurological problems such as the oneвЂ™s we noticed in our вЂњLittleвЂќ Sophia can be seen as disorientation, incoordination, severe lethargy, unresponsiveness, and in severe cases, coma. Not to sound like an alarmist but almost always, breathing problems are a major indicator of a bigger Pomeranian health issue, please take action immediately.ДЈ. I have known people who have tried to do it and caused the object to go deeper. Please, whatever you do please donвЂ™t try to dislodge an object from your Poms throat unless you вЂњreallyвЂќ know dog CPR. He coughed and wheezed when he came up the stairs and no one even thought of heart worm. Most often than not these symptoms can be brought on by something getting caught in your PomeranianвЂ™s throat, sometimes an allergic reaction to food or treats, heart disease or heart worm like in our baby LukaвЂ™s case.

Difficultly breathing can be anything from wheezing, choking, honking (most of the time, collapsed trachea), pneumoniaвЂ¦ and worst of all, respiratory arrest (when the lungs stop working). When your Pom has difficulty breathing or what the VetвЂ™s call, Dyspnea it is very important that you bring them in. So if you see your furry baby limping, favoring a leg or just not acting their-selves have then checked out.Дў. If you let your Pomeranian outside, you may not witness an attack, fall, or altercation. Cuts and bruises may not seem as bad immediately following a traumatic event but can become worse if left untreated. Trauma to joints, lungs, abdomen that can cause internal bleeding may not show symptoms right off the bat. Invisible injuries, ones not seen by the naked eye can have devastating effects if not treated efficiently. Your Pomeranian may seem fine because they are pretty tough dog but you still need to bring them to the Vet. If your PomeranianВ has had a fall, has got hit by a car, has been attacked by a larger dog which caused puncture wounds from bites, has gotten scratched by a cat near their face, or has been attacked by a coyote or bird of prey immediate veterinary attention is advised. So I have compiled a Top 10 list of the most common Pomeranian Emergencies that should be burned into your brain so you know toВ just take your Pomeranian to the Vet.
