Does anyone know what running fits are and how to cure them?

Most that I have seen is a sugar imbalance.
On a long day of running, I throw a piece of white bread about each third of the way to each dog as it comes by.

Some is an epileptic problem, usually inherited. Dog falls over.

Some is worms or tick in spine area or base of tail, dog weak in rear end and drags itself with front legs.

Some is inbreeding too close and its mental. Runs crazy or shy for a while, wild eyed, and comes to itself after a while.

Get a tube of Nutri-cal. Give a little before you run them and maybe a little later on depending how long you run them. This will cure the problem with the fits.
