Turns out Ruby was having what are known as petit-mal convulsions, in other words, she was halfway to a full-blown epileptic fit. The vet reckons it's probably the heat that brought it on but in case it ever happens again she's prescribed some Valium for her. She also said that if it happens again in the next 6 weeks I have to take her back for blood tests to test her liver and kidneys and then she'd be put on the proper epileptic medicine. Hopefully she'll be fine though, she's been great today and the vet said that some dogs can have one fit and then never have another their entire lives, so hopefully *fingers crossed* Ruby's was a one-off. It's taken a load off of my mind anyway and at least if it happens again I know what to do now :)
Just have to keep ourselves cool in this hot weather! *turns on fan in bedroom* hopefully this will work better than it did last night because it's hot and stuffy again even with the windows open...
