Bethenny Frankel’s dog Cookie is in the hospital after having a 45-minute seizure over the weekend.
The Real Housewives of New York City star shared a video of herself crying on social media on Saturday, October 28. “I know my dog’s convulsing…do I take her to a vet?…What do I do? My daughter’s watching this and we have to do something. The vet is 40 minutes away,” Frankel, 46, said in one heartbreaking clip.
She is 17 & did have 108 fever & 45 mins of seizures, but she licked Bryn & reacted to my belly rubs. Better today but TBD @toyisland8 xo

In a second video, she added: “Sorry, I didn’t mean to scare everybody. My poor daughter and I are watching my dog have a seizure for 45 minutes and the [vet] hospital’s so far out.” She wrote: “My dog had too long a seizure & I’m pissed the closest vet is 40 mins away. I’m in a bad place. She will be put down.”
Frankel, who told a fan that she spends weekends with her daughter Bryn, 7, in the Hamptons, managed to make it to a facility after the terrifying ordeal.
My baby had 2 more seizures last PM. My heart is broken.

“Thanks for the love. @cookiedabooboo is alive but had a very high temp & 45 min seizure so she’s resting at hospital. Not time yet….” she tweeted on Sunday. “She is 17 & did have 108 fever & 45 mins of seizures, but she licked Bryn & reacted to my belly rubs. Better today but TBD @toyisland8 xo. I’m grateful. People are loving & caring. Part of me thinks the crap in the world is to bring us closer & make us better. Thank you.”
Before They Were Real Housewives
On Monday morning, however, Frankel tweeted that Cookie suffered two more seizures on Sunday night. “My heart is broken,” she wrote.
As of now, the reality star — who recently chartered several planes in and out of Puerto Rico to help with hurricane relief — plans to visit Cookie later today. “Bryn made her a card,” she tweeted on Sunday. “This is brutal.”
