If my dog is having two seizures right after another. Is this considered two or is it what they call an after shock ?

Thank you so much for this article. My 9 y/o Boxer just began experiencing seizures over the last few days, and this article is helping to put my mind at ease about the signs & symptoms. LOVE the honey & ice cream idea. Thank you, thank you, thank you.

Thank you so much for sharing your story!I wish more vets recognized that diet is such a big part of our pets health! After much research I became aware of the fact that my pet had just had her vaccinations a week before this started happening to her and her diet was terrible! I was really worried that I would have to let my puppy go to doggy heaven when she started getting seizures. The vet couldn't find anything wrong and just put her on phenobarbatol. The medication made her so sad and lethargic and all she did was lay there with these big sad eyes. I decided to look into holistic approaches and so glad I did! I have already changed the diet to a BARF diet and got some antioxidants I have been using for several weeks and seen major improvements. She thinks she is getting a special treat and waits for them after breakfast every morning! http://nzymespetproducts.co... (I've started using less and less of the pheno ) She is so much happier and perked up

Phenobarbital seems to be the golden egg for our boy Jasper right now. Doing great on a low dosage. No liver damage so far. Supplementing with Milk Thistle and having regular liver bile acid tests done.

With Daisy my shepherd. She will come find me when she's starting to have a seizure. Her tail is tucked between her legs and her back is arched like a cat and her legs are stiff. I put her on her side and spoon behind her with my arm under her head. I lay ther holding her and humm softly and talk to her gently. It seems to lessen the intensity if the seizure.

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

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.

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.
