What happened my gerbil please help quick!

Question

I was playing with my young gerbil when it went into some sort of spasm,it's forepaws cleched up and it's back paws and legs drooped and it was shaking..It's ok now,just seems a bit dazed,what could have happened?

Answer 1

return him or bring it to vet?

Answer 2

it probably had some sort of a seizure you should have it checked out by a vet if it keeps happening

Generally no treatment is needed, and after the seizure is over, the gerbil appears normal. However, if the gerbil sustains a grand mal seizure for several minutes, brain damage may occur. It has been suggested that gerbils which are frequently handled during their first three weeks of life may be less likely to develop seizures, however, this has not been proven. Since this appears to be an inherited condition, gerbils who have had seizures should not be bred

Answer 3

seizures.

Answer 4

I think you should take it to the vet. It sounds like it is having a seizure.
