urgent advice needed please.

Yes, we all have the animals' welfare at heart guys, even if we have different ways of showing it - thats down to being individuals No one on here would mean to be rude or heartless in this situation, its just in type you cant hear voice inflections and so things can be taken wrongly.

I can understand that when something awful like this happens, you look anywhere for help/support and I dare say the OP wanted just some reassurance whilst she waited for the vet to arrive. When we panic over the animals you do all sorts - I know I have myself.

Please let us know your dog is ok today.

my lab just walked into the lounge ,laid down in front of my husband and myself and suddenly her eyes rolled back and her head and neck twisted to the side as this was happening.i panicked and started crying and shouted for my hubby to come and help her with me.
this carried on for a couple of mins and then she seemed to go back to normal.i thought she was dying.it seemed like she felt unwell and came to us for help.
is it a stroke.do i need to call a vet out or see how she goes??im heartbroken at this and wondered if this has happened to anyone else or if anyone can advise?thankyou.

Your dog had some kind of fit which 'carried on for a couple of minutes' and, in your own words, you 'thought she was dying'. You then loaded up the MSE page and spent several minutes typing your post and then I assume you intended to sit there and wait for advice.

I'm sorry but that is NOT how you should act in an emergency situation. Would you have acted that way if it had been a human... say your OH or child?

It is every pet owner's responsibility to know what to do in an emergency - and that includes knowing the out-of-hours call out number for your vet.

I make no apologies for my opinion.

I do hope your dog has recovered.
