[Video] Dog Passes Out from Overwhelming Joy as She Reunites with Owner After 2 Years

The moment a dog passed out from being overly excited at the sight of its owner has been caught on camera.

Rebecca Ehalt, who is now based in Slovenia, returned to her family home in Pennsylvania recently for the first time in two years.

Video footage shows her walking up the driveway of her parents' property and being greeted by the family's very giddy pet schnauzer, Casey, which flops over after over-exerting itself barking.

The overjoyed canine is heard squealing manically as Ms Ehalt kneels down to give it a hug.

But it then starts rasping and rolls over on its back, seemingly exhausted by joy.

  1. Pyper Jade Stone Unless this is new info it is true in the world I know. We have worked for years with many vets to get to the bottom of the cause of our mini’s seizures. He had them often and always triggered by stress or excitement. After years of research we finally had a professional ask us if we fed our dog chicken or corn…long story short, we removed him off of these items and for the remainder of his life he has been seizure free.

  2. Seizures can be related to excitement. i.e. Going to the groomer or the vet. BUT a seizure involves convulsing and shaking. This dog passed out. That’s syncope. And seizures are not caused from food allergies. Potentially a reaction to a food if it was tainted or poor quality or way too high in protein. The other way a dog can have a seizure from food is if they have a portosystemic shunt or microvascular dysplasia, both are liver issues. If the food is too high in protein, it isn’t broken down by the liver appropriately, and the excess protein goes to the brain, resulting in a seizure. A seizure and syncope are completely different things. They are treated differently. If you want to think on the way of eastern medicine, your dog may have had an underlying issue that the chicken was too warm or cold with their meridian, resulting in a seizure. But that’s stretching.

    Part of your dogs therapy did you remove him from stressful situations or acclimate him better to them? So that maybe it was a cause and effect of your hard work vs a diet change? A dog can overcome excitable seizures with proper positive reinforcement. But if changing a diet reduced or eliminated seizure activity then it wasn’t due to excitement in the first place. But if it was do to overstimulation and you worked with him on this, then coincidently changed his food, you don’t know which helped, in reality. Either way, he’s seizure free, and that’s a good thing!

  3. We initially had exploratory surgery on his liver looking for shunts….there were none. We understand that the chicken or corn had either a preservative or additives that was probably the cause…along with fat and protein as being a real issue with schnauzers.

  4. Finding out what had been causing the seizures took about 5 years of many veterinarians (including the college of veterinary medicine in Stillwater, Oklahoma at OSU). Please keep in mind that chicken and corn were triggers for seizures, in some regard pertaining to our dog, for whatever reason. He would begin seizing whenever stressed or very anxious, and he had always been extra sensitive his whole life. What really sold the fact about the chicken was feeding him chicken baby food right out of the jar….that was a bad decision. We knew that he knew that if he ate it he would pay the price….and he did. But that was many years ago and all is well. Thanks for the conversation.
