Why is my dog numb and can't walk after taking Neurobion for seizures?

Thank you for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! Seizures can result in lasting neurological damage, especially when the seizures are prolonged or severe. You can also have transient deficits in the post ictal (after -seizure) period that may resolve. You should bring your pet to a veterinarian for evaluation. Certainly seizures can be the result of a toxicity but, they may also be due to metabolic problems or primary neurologic issues. in addition, if he is having continual problems, there maybe treatment needed. I hope he is ok!

Poor Brezzer! That sounds as though it may be a neurological problem, as some types of seizures can look like that. Please have Brezzer seen by a veterinarian for evaluation, and take in a video of his behaviour if possible. Please see the following link for more information on seizures in dogs. http://www.veterinarypartner.com/Content.plx?P=A&S=0&C=0&A=560 He may also be dealing with muscular or neurologic injury, an infectious disease like Lyme disease, which is transmitted by ticks and can cause joint pain and lameness, or he may have pain elsewhere in the body other than the paws or legs. Generalized weakness from systemic diseases or toxin ingestion could also be causing his inability to walk, and a vet visit is needed to determine the cause of his signs and guide treatment. Please have Brezzer seen by a vet immediately, and good luck to you both.

Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! Seizures can occur due to many reasons that go from a toxicity, metabolic diseases, inflammatory diseases and even tumors. The fact that he cannot use his legs is very concerning as that could be the result of the seizures or be unrelated. I highly recommend that you have Max evaluated by a veterinarian as soon as possible for further assessment and treatment. Diagnostics that will be recommended will include bloodwork and advanced imaging such as an MRI. They would also be able to start him on anti-seizure medications to try to avoid the onset of more seizures. Good luck and have a good day! Hoping for a speedy recovery!

It sounds like a small stroke, it could be vestibular disease as well, i would recommend taking him for a checkup today, he should be evaluated to make sure his neurological condition is not damaged.

Thank you for submitting your question regarding Bailey. I am assuming the has a seizure disorder based on the medications that he is taking. When a new medication is added, the dog can go through an adjustment period. The biggest signs I will see is the patient being sedate or wobbly on their legs. These side effects are typically transient. His body likely just needs time to adjust to the recently added medication. In my experience, these signs do not usually last longer than a few days or up to one week. In the meantime, do your best to support him he walks. I would not give any over-the-counter medications as there is not something that will help. If his signs are not decreasing, talk with your veterinarian and see if he needs s dose change. I hope this information helps!

HI, thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! Poor Dudley! I think the biggest question I have is WHY he is on those medications. I commonly prescribe those 3 medications for back pain. The biggest concern for dogs with back issues is to watch them closely because if they get worse they start to walk drunk, drag a leg or both legs or even lose the ability to walk. If it is the neck that was painful all 4 legs can be affected. This is due to pressure of a herniated disk on the spinal chord. So with out more information, I think it is imperative that you bring Dudley to an emergency hospital today to be sure that he isn't neurologic from progression or his back or neck disease. If you think he isn't walking because he is too sedate then you can try stopping the tramadol and lowering the methocarbamol. But is better to be safe than sorry if you are not sure. I hope this helps and I hope Dudley does well!

I am so sorry that this has happened to Tommy. Unfortunately I cannot not say for sure if there is any chance of recovery from just X-rays. An MRI or CT really needs to be done to get the best view of the spinal cord and his intervertebral disks. Also, you may want to see if there is a veterinary surgeon who is comfortable with back surgery as this could be an option for Tommy. If not, the only other suggestion would be high doses of steroids. None of these options are guaranteed to work but they might. I hope this helps and hope that Tommy is capable of healing. Hang in there and good luck.
