Border Terrier CECS - Dog 3

First (observed) episodes occurred when she was about 3 years old. The episodes have progressed from mild to severe. During her episodes she will search out the owner and start shaking. She will then start circling before going into a down position, not being able to arise. Her head will extend and weave during an episode. Her body and limbs are stiff. For several minutes during the episode she is not able to walk, but will crawl on the floor as shown in this documentation. Triggers: stress, heartworm medication
