What to do when my dog has a seizure? Milk, massage, or space?

Yes, anxiety and aggression are very common in and around seizures. Ideally you would not move her, unless she is a position to fall and hurt herself. Placing soft bedding around her and turning lights and volume of tv etc down can also help. Frequent or prolonged seizures should be assessed for preventive treatment by your vet

If she has a seizure: - Don't put your hands near her mouth - Keep some rubbing alcohol in a spray bottle to spray on the pads of the feet for cooling - Monitor Trickie at all times during the seizure to ensure that she cannot hurt herself by crashing into furniture, etc - If the seizure continues for more than 5 minutes, seek emergency care immediately Also have her seen by a vet for anti-seizure medication. Best of luck.

Poor Coco! When a dog has a seizure, they can appear "out of it" for a bit afterwards. She should see a vet for this problem, and if she had a prolonged seizure (greater than five minutes), rush her into an ER vet right away. If she seizures again before you can seek vet care: - Don't put your hands near her mouth - Keep some rubbing alcohol in a spray bottle to spray on the pads of the feet for cooling - Monitor her at all times during the seizure to ensure that she cannot hurt herself by crashing into furniture, etc Best of luck, I hope this helps!

If Pinky is having muscle tremors or seizures, I would be very concerned that the problem is not epilepsy but rather eclampsia, or "milk fever". This is a life-threatening condition caused by very low blood calcium levels, and is common in toy breed dogs who are nursing large litters. This is a medical emergency, so Pinky needs to be seen by a veterinarian immediately. If you call your regular vet's office, they should have contact information on their voicemail message for your nearest emergency clinic or on-call doctor.

This will depend on the diagnosis. Seizures may be controlled with medications that your veterinarian can prescribe or dispense. A consultation with a veterinary neurologist may be recommended. In the meantime, begin a Seizure Log. For every event, record the time, duration, diet, medications, supplements and activity before and after. This may help your vet diagnose the underlying cause

You will need Mozza to be examined by your veterinarian. If she already is on antiseizure medication, then she will need a blood test to check the medication level in her blood as, obviously it is not controlling the seizures. If she has not been seen by a vet yet or is not on antiseizure medication., then you should consult with your vet about putting her on such medication to stop or at least reduce the number of seizures. Looking at her age, she may also have a brain tumor causind seizures, but such medication can also curb the seizures for some time. Keep a diary of the seizures recording the trigger (such as the door bell ringing), time seizure started, time seizure ended, how the dog acts before and after the seizure and the date. If Mozza has a seizure that lasts 5 minutes or more you will need to immediately take her to the vet to stop the seizure. I hope you can get her to eat and drink sufficiently.

I always recommend blood work to start with in any dog that started having seizures. There are a few things that could be diagnosed on blood work that could cause seizures, such as liver disease, kidney disease, electrolyte abnormalities, and infection. If the blood work is normal. Your vet will likely recommend that you continue to monitor Harley for seizure activity. Some dogs will have a seizure or two early in their life and never again. But some develop epilepsy that needs to start on medications. I generally wait to start medications until one of the following occur: -many seizures clustered together -seizures that are severe and cause bodily harm -the pet does not recover within 45 minutes after a seizure (should be tired, but otherwise normal) -seizures are occurring regularly (ie every month or two) Here is an article you may find helpful: https://www.petcoach.co/dog/condition/seizures-1/
