Re: The 4 Stages of a Seizure in a Dog

My homeopathic vet recommends carrying homeopathic Belladonna to stop a seizure. I haven't tried it since this is brand new to my dog. But he doesn't have epilepsy, he has "idiopathic" seizures, meaning "we don't know why."

I don't know if this will help, but we have narrowed our dog's triggers down to canned (wet) dog food and the marrow bone treats so far.

Another tip may be to recognize that your dog may be blind for a while. I think this is what really scared my Standard Poodle, Simba, when he came out of his first seizure.

Salt is also a big factor in seizures for dogs. Beware.

I narrowed my little chihuahua's seizures down to Italian Seasoning . . . who knew. Meatloaf does this to her. Ugh!! Regarding Asjourney . . . have you eliminated grains? These often cause seizures in dogs, esp wheat.
Also, I have given my little pooch taurine and it stops it rather fast. My mom used Taurine to prevent grand mal seizures and it worked better than prescription meds did. Totally natural.

Thank you Nikki! I just added DMG to Jasper's Diet to try and further increase the seizure breaks. He LOVES his raw Kangaroo and veges.

Hi Joe,

Sorry for the late response, we just got back from vacation. Anyway, to
answer your question, epilepsy is hereditary, so that's probably why your
dog is having seizures. Luckily, there are things you can do to help lessen
the severity or even cure the seizures, and that's exactly what is described
in Cory's Story. If you haven't checked it out yet, read the first chapter
and tell me what you think. Cory was a lab too.

My dog( 10 yr old lab ) woke up this morning when I opened the back gate and ran out to use the tree. (His daily routine) and yelped and fell over stiff. No shaking or foaming but had his eyes open. Very scary first time. He wake and walked in a daze . after a few minutes he wanted to fetch as usual but I only rolled it to him 2 -3 times. That night he laid down and was very sad and solemn looking. This morning he is up but still lazy. He had parvo as pup then heart worms as adult 3 yrs ago. His mother had really bad seizures up to the day she passed. Is this hereditary ? Could it be something else. Just asking before I take him to vet today. Thanks

Re: Canine Epilepsy Treatment (Part 2)

Christene — Thu, 20 Jan 2011 06:46:52 -0000

Epilesy can be treated using vagus nerve stimulation(VNS). The VNS is programmed with a special sequence that is activated when a magnet is swept over the device. For patients who can sense the start of a seizure (the aura of a seizure), it can be useful in aborting the seizure. For patients who cannot sense the impending seizure, it can be useful for family and caretakers to shorten the seizure and allow for faster recovery of the patient.

I am desperately trying to find out what dog food might be good for my precious little Palin (61 lbs. little). She is the love of our lives and her seizures are frequent, severe and l o n g !

Jasper will often stand in front of my bed, before he has a seizure. As they always happen between 4 am and 7 am, I thought one of the triggers for him could be low blood sugar? I now keep a little dry dog treat in my bedside table. Every time he suddenly stands there and gives me this "seizure look", I quickly give him the treat. Not sure, but I feel we stopped a few seizures from happening this way.

I have always said it takes a special person to own a Malamute -- you are that person. One that really cares enough to do what it takes to make their pet healthy --- simply awesome!
Your Mika reminds me of my Misty, my very first female malamute many years ago. I still miss her.

Mika is gorgeous and such a lucky girl to have a guardian who cares enough to keep an open mind about raw feeding.
