Seizures in Dogs... anyone?

I don't personally have a seizuring dog but I am a vet nurse and I've seen lots of dogs like that. It can be easily controlled with drugs like Phenobarb and others and as long as you keep up the medication and stick to the vet's orders your dog can live a normal happy life. There is the risk that some dogs will have recurring seizures but it's very individual.

What kind of dog do you have? He's lucky he's got caring owners like you

I have 4 daschunds and 1 of them, (junior) has had seizures since he was just a few months old. I was told that it is common in daschunds, but (charlie), had just one and not anymore that i know of. Junior has had i don't know how many, I also thought that he would end up with some sort of brain damage, but he is still the same sweet, lovable dog and his demeanor is still the same now as it has always been. My dog didn't suffer any kind of trauma that caused the situation, as far as i know. It could be a genetic thing.

i don't know if this will be helpful but my best friend has a golden lab that has had seizures in something like six month intervals his whole life but it has never effected him negatively and hes a very happy healthy dog otherwise. all we do if theres someone around when hes seizing is make sure he doesn't hit himself on anything or swallow his tongue stuff like that.

I have had Dogs all my Life and no they have never had these
I now have a little Dog, who is a rescue Dog that I got 4 years ago and who had been badly mistreated and he has a Heart murmur he also has breathing trouble and Fits through this sometimes the first time he had it I panicked as I had never had that with any of my Dogs before
But now even though it is very scary I know what I have to do
I hope your Puppy stay seizure free now it is so sad

Oh my God! 0.o That is a serious problem! 0.o You must look up to your dog anytime so once that attack happene again, you could bring him immediately to your vet. Anyway, I am not experiencing that same situation somehow but I'm so worried about when will taht sickness stops bothering yur dog.

Awww I am so sorry to here that! We used to have a male husky who had seizures. We had meds we had to give him to keep them under control. Although sometimes meds dont help. As long as the dog is happy and has good quality of life he will be fine. Use seizure meds and hope for the best.
