My Little Dog Buddy Had A Seizure

[OneFineAcre]

Really the vet will tell you to just keep track of anytime you think he has something going on. A few episodes does not warrant medicine and there is really no way of telling what they are set off by in the beginning. So I kept a notebook and would write down what my dog was doing at the time she had a seizure, what she had ate what was going on round her at the time, how long it lasted and what she was like afterwards.
We never chose to go with meds as hers were few and far between. But did figure out what triggered them. Believe it or not, stress. baths (inside in the bathtub) getting tangled up where her feet would fall out from under her, and having to much company over at one time. Other that those stress times she was fine.
My vet did recommend feeding her snacks or what ever she'd eat after a seizure because they take up allot of energy and they burn tons of calories so sugar and calories helped stabilize her after.
Good luck with you little Buddy!

Thanks

Dad's lab is experiencing seizures now. He's @13 I think. They had him medicated and was responding well. Then he had two in less than twelve hours. They recommended laying with him so he would know he was there and close his eyes and rub them gently til it passes. It's rough on my folks.
