Mona is about 14 or 15, and has trouble moving around much. We usually carry her out for her potty breaks and did so before bedtime last night. I checked on her a few minutes later and she was laying on her side in the grass, with irregular breathing. We did not see anything happen, but looking back at the bed she was in before she went out, it was wet, not with urine, but drool. I did notice her mouth was much more wet than I had ever seen it before. We think she had a seizure of some sort. <o:p></o:p></span></b></p><p class=MsoNormal><b><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Comic Sans MS";color:blue'>We got her back inside, and I slept next to her all night, but for about 6 hours she really did not move too much. At times I thought she was paralyzed, but she would move her feet a little bit. <o:p></o:p></span></b></p><p class=MsoNormal><b><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Comic Sans MS";color:blue'>This morning, she seems normal for her, ate well, but is getting around a little worse than before.
