seizure

Hey guys, someone posted exactly the same issue 6 yrs ago but no one knew what was causing this. My fingers are crossed there has been some advances in testing since. Monkey is a rescue, about 4-6 yrs old. He started these jaw shaking episodes a few months ago. Sometimes it’s mild and...

Herschel is 8. We have always fed him kibble With no issues. In the past year he has began to have bouts with either choking, seizures or something else while eating. At first i thought seizure for sure. Then I noticed this always happens when he's eating or just finished eating so I thought...

I woke up this morning at 5 AM to a loud noise. Bubba normally sleeps on the bed I found him on the floor next to the bed. I don’t know if he fell off or he was on the floor and knocked over a small wall decor that was resting near bed, that I hadn’t hung up yet. When I found him he was not...

About a week ago our beloved Odin had some sort of choking episode. Up until this point we have been unable to tell what type of episode (seizure, choking, etc). This is the 5th time in 2 months it has happened. He’s been at the vet for a few days, and because we have been unable to figure out...

Something weird just happened with Buster. I didn't see exactly how it started but the first thing I did see was him coming toward me, dry-humping, penis exposed. Then he started spinning and throwing himself around, shaking his head, then rubbing his face and head on the carpet. He never...

A bit of background. 4 days after we got Buster (7 weeks ago) we had entropion surgery done on his right eye. His eye was scarred and a mess. That is all healed up but his eye still looked very red and inflamed and his eye ointment wasn't helping. On Friday, I made an appointment at a pet...

I know I’ve mentioned this a few times in posts... If one of my pups had anything to do with Seizure, Head Tremor or Epilepsy, I personally would put them on a keto diet n of course Frankincense. Basically Ketogenic is a high fat diet. Here’s a good link with some studies...Good read...

Wednesday's episode was rather short and appeared to be a typical focal seizure. Today's was much longer lasting(4 minutes+) and varied in intensity. Head was moving up and down as opposed to the side to side motions I see most often. She was wide awake and completely aware the whole time...

Bella constantly likes eating grass. She does it all the time. Last weekend we caught her chewing on a long grass in the yard and the next morning at 1am she puked up a rather large amount of it when we were sleeping. For the following 15 minutes or so she kept hacking almost like dry-heaving...

I had to put my almost 10 yr old English bulldog Winston down last week. It was sorta sudden. He was put on low dose Phenobarbitol for seizures, then deteriorated and had a massive seizure and has to be intubated and not lucid and I made the hard decision. Im struggling with this cause I...

4/18/18: Please welcome Mimsy! On Tuesday we found out about this sweet little girl that was at Dekalb County Animal Control. We emailed our contact and were told “Thanks for inquiring about her. She is currently a court case and is not available for rescue or adoption at this time, but I will...

Hey everyone. This is going to be a novel, but alot has happened over the last two weeks and I really don't want to leave out any detail that might be important. Two weeks ago I noticed that my Addy was acting a little off. She seemed to be panting alot and just generally kind of felt "off"...

Hello everyone, I'm reaching out for any and all experienced information with grand mal seizures. My dog Wrigley Bear just started having seizure just before his 3 year birthday Nov 26th 2017 . He is a Victorian bulldog. Neutered , fully vaccinated, great health and not over weight 58...

Please welcome Thelma to our rescue family! She comes to us after a recent local puppy mill bust that involved the seizure of 132 animals. Thelma is 3 years old and only weighs 28 lbs. She is a mess health-wise, but everyone in the shelter loved her personality and came out to bid her adieu...

Hey all I wanted to update on Jameson. Monday morning Jameson was sleeping on our bed and I heard him get up to come eat. He has been sleeping through breakfast and eventually will get up and come eat. I heard a thump and I figured he jumped the remainder of the steps to get down. He didn’t...

I had hoped we weren't going to have this issue.... but it's been a long sleepless weekend. Effie has started having head tremors. I'm really shocked, because she's going to be 3 next January, and I really thought if she was going to have them, we would have seen them by now! My husband was...

Duke has an issue eating fast like he doesn't want to miss any. Gave him his frozen smaller raw piece of meat and he's trying to chew with his newly teeth coming out. Had my back turned 5 SECONDS only and he's on his side choking like he's having a bad seizure. I immediately grabbed his neck n...

At first, documenting anything and everything Vegas related was very important to me. I wrote this article for a sister forum that has since been shut down. Thankfully Lisa was able to save this article from being deleted. Over the years I've referred people to this article simply to let them...

Hi All! We have a 2 yr old MN chunk of love named Bugsy, who has been diagnosed with seizure disorder. The seizures started approx 1-3 months apart but since then have increased in frequency. Our vet ( who I work for also) started him on Zonisemide, which helped briefly i guess. April was a bad...

https://www.mspca.org/angell_services/seizures-in-dogs-and-cats/ The last tip on taking a video is a great one and what sealed the deal for the docs when Nelly was seizing. In a cluster situation it's frustrating to bring them in for what you know is a traumatic situation and have them seem fine.

I was watching TV, Bennie was in his bed a couple of meters away from me. Suddenly he just got up, he was walking stiff, back humped, claws clinched out, head almost down on the floor, stumbling like he was going to fall. I rushed up to help him and he kept walking forward for another couple...

Omg was so scared but learned they are essentially non toxic. Made him froath at mouth and shutter thought we were having a seizure. Come to find out the taste is so horrible it makes them do this and simply gave him lots of water and his fav treats to get taste out of his mouth. Just little...

Please welcome 9-year-old Ellie May to our rescue family. You may recognize her because her mother had put her photos on social media hoping someone would take her. Ellie May is a big girl, about 80 pounds, but that’s just more to love! She’s said to have seizures and will need to be spayed...

Hi everyone! I haven't posted in a while because Farley has been doing so well with his Apoquel and allergy drops. I have now had two possible episodes with Farley having a seizure. The first episode happened about Sunday, (3 days ago) at 12:30 am. I heard a shuffling running sound with...

I was wandering around CVS yesterday, and I saw Beanie Babies. Imagine my surprise when I saw a Bulldog! I nearly had a seizure when I saw his name!!! CAN YOU SEE IT?????? BRUTUS!!!!!!!!!!!

Boots is a great dog and loves everyone he meets! He is very social, but can be a bit pushy with other dogs. He is just one happy pup! He was an owner surrender that mentioned a history of seizures, but has yet to have one in his foster home. He seems a bit off balance due to his level of...

Hi again friends, Apologies for starting a new thread - I had posted this in another thread but since my question is different I was hoping to catch some more input. My boy Wilbur had a grand mal seizure 4 days ago. This is the first time I have ever experienced something like that. I have...

Meet Molly Meet Molly. Molly is five years old, spayed, UTD on her shots, crate trained and housebroken. Molly is a special Bullie. She was an owner surrender because of some behaviors that she developed that they did not like. We placed her with a trainer who determined that she had been...

As I mentioned in a previous thread, Nelly's seizure onset was fast and traumatic. In hindsight I realized she seized 6-12 times over the course of the day, including 4 events in the hour before I brought her to the ER. Labs to this point have not identified a source so vet is recommending MRI...

Nelly (2 years) is currently in the ICU at the local VCA. She has seen an Ophthalmologist, full disclosure we haven't spoken directly to eye doc yet while we face seizure issues. Apparently she has been diagnosed with an eye ulcer, entropian. Eye doc recommends removing part of the lid and...

Morning vomit + faint (video) I'm super excited to have found this forum! Trying to discover the issue with my 9 month old English Bulldog Rosie. About twice a month she will wake up (always in the morning), sit up and lick her lips like she has too much saliva. Then she will begin to...

Well the other night ended up with a trip to the emergency Vet Hospital in the next town over thinking Lola was dying. The started getting lethargic then she started to shake from side to side while her paws went out from under her. I thought she was having a seizure. She then fell over and went...

Earlier in the day Vegas got a hold of a toy that had been taken away from him previously. Vegas easily can get fixated on a toy and it really stresses him out. There have been several that have been removed from the toy box. This is one of them. As you can see...he really did some...

After the Seizure on the 25th of Septemeber (saturday) Vegas became ill. Whether it being a virus or not, I'm not sure. It started on Thursday Sept 30th, about 4ish, Vegas threw up. He threw up food from earlier. Then that night he threw up at 10ish. More food and meds. And several times...

Boy, last night was a tuff one for Vegas. We went to bed at 1130ish. I'm sore and extremely tired...kickboxing again! :D I've been running late for the last several weeks. Vegas needs to have his meds at 8am and 8pm. 12 hours apart. If I run late leaving for work, I leave his food on the...
