 SORRY HALLIE:
    I READ THAT IN HASTE...I AM SORRY I DIDN'T KNOW HE  DID LOSE 
CONCIOUSNESS.. HE COULD STILL HAVE SUFFERED AN EPILEPTIC SEIZURE.. 
  BUT...HE COULD ALSO HAVE HAD A SUDDEN   VENTRICULAR ARRYTHEMIA  ATTACK.. 
WHICH IS ALSO  CALLED    SUDDEN CARDIAC  DEATH  AS IT IS OFTEN  FATAL.. SOME 
DOGS CAN BE FORTUNATE AND OVERCOME THE ARRYTHEMIA AND GO BACK TO NORMAL BY 
THEMSELVES... 
 I   WOULD STILL SUGGEST THAT THE VET HAS A COMPLETE THYROID TEST RUN  ON 
HIM... BARB WILLIAMS
