Hi all, recently my 2.5 year old OEB has started fly snapping. It started about five days ago. I knew it was out of the ordinary for him, so we got him into the vet two days ago and they did bloodwork which came back great. They drained his anal glands which the vet said weren't bad at all. The vet did say this would be the age that epilepsy can develop in dogs. She also said it could be gastrointestinal, so she recommended trying Pepcid in the evening. We've started giving Pepcid for a couple days now but he's still doing it. We will continue it for a couple weeks though.
He is responsive when he's snapping, but sometimes he'll get scared when it happens, which is heartbreaking. His ears are clean but he does always seem to want them scratched. He has seasonal allergies but it's winter here. I do think he has eczema though. We feed him a grain-free diet and his food is Earthborn Holistic bison.
The vet gave us a recommendation to try Hemp oil if it is indeed epilepsy.
Does anyone have any experience or suggestions on how to help my little love?
