My leo Squirt is about 6 or 7 months, and I had her outside for a walk with my other leo. She layed down a few times, but the last time she did it her muscles tensed and spazzed slightly and she made a fairly loud chirp, and her tongue came out a little. It only lasted maybe 3 seconds but shes never done that before. Shes on worm medication and wheezing medication, and I've been having to feed her Flucker's Reptiboost because she refuses to eat her worms while on medication.

If she's not eating and on medication I would keep handling to a minimum. Moving her for tank cleaning and medicating is about all I would do. Handling is stressful even though they may not appear stressed while out. She doesn't need anymore stress in her life with all the other stuff going on. I'd also probably keep her away from your other leo until you know if she's sick or not.

I'm not sure if what you describe is a seizure but I'd be careful with the reptiboost. Personally I don't give mine anything unless they're losing weight and then I would start by assist feeding worms or roaches or squeeze guts on their face for them to lick off before anything else.

Best of luck with her recovery!

I only planned on a 10 min walk anyway, just to help digestion, but this cut our walk short. I immediately took both leos back inside. The reptiboost was the vet's suggestion, so that's why ive done that. Ive searched all over the internet to try and figure out if this was a seizure or if maybe her foot was stuck on grass (which im 99% sure wasn't the case) but google isn't helping at all. She has been totally fine since then, but shes never had a seizure that I know of.
