So went to feed sparky tonight he did his usual routine of periscoping. Turned round to weigh out the next one and sparky was flopped out on his side having a seizure/fit. This is the first time this has happened. We moved everything out of the way so he didn't hurt himself (he was in a run in the kitchen) then we gently lifted him up. One of his eyes was completely shut and his ear was completely down and he was lame down his left side. Gradually his eye reopened and his ear perked back up but still had difficulty with his legs especially the left rear. Rushed him to our vets who were thankfully still open and during the journey sparky was trying to move and look around.
Possible causes are EC, stroke or epilepsy. Our vet gave him diazapem and set him up with a catheter but we had to transport him to the emergency vets as our vets isn't staffed overnight. They are going to monitor him and check his blood glucose levels at intervals.
If he gets through the night there will be panacur, blood tests etc.
