    hi Folks
    just looking for a bit if info on my dog.
    Last night for the third time this yr my yorkshire terrier became very unstable on his legs all of a sudden, his back seemed to be arched and his stomach was very hard. this lasted about 3-5 mins.it was very frightening, we noticed that if we massaged his belly the symptoms seem to disappear after a few min. If i had to put money on it id say its from eating the kids lego. Any info would be really appreciated.

    cheers

    Please take him to the vet, especially if you think he ate a Lego, the corners can do a lot of damage to the stomach lining & trachea if he manages to bring it up.

    My terrier was like this, turned out to be numerous cancerous masses and she had to be euthanised. Please get your dog to a vet ASAP. Even if it is lego it can de terrible harm.
