    My 5 year old golden retriever gets a attack.
    During this attack he clutches his mouth tight and his hands and legs become stiff. We massage him when something like this happens. This remains for 10 to 15 minutes and then he becomes absolutely normal.

    It sounds like a seizure. You should take your dog to the vet - they will probably want to do some diagnostics to figure out what caused it.

    I agree with Saris about the seizures. Once the vet has done some testing they will be able to give you medication and tips on stopping the seizures. For some dogs it's diet, others need medications.

Graying Golden retriever [ 3 Answers ]

Abby just turned 3 years today. 4 months ago she started graying on her muzzle and around her eyes. This is my 6th Golden and none grayed or whitened until 10 or 11yrs. Is this a symptom of anything other than just gray hair?
