Good Article if you Suspect Seizure

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.

Excellent post and link, thx for sharing!! I, too, love the advice of video-ing…I know I may not think to do this in a panic state if I saw a seizure happening…so good to know ahead of time!! Love and noted this paragraph…

"Generally, if your pet has never had a seizure before and then has 2 or more seizures in a 24 hours period, they should be seen immediately. If your pet has had seizures in the past but has been controlled on medications, care should be sought immediately if more than 3 seizures happen in a 24 hour period. Any seizure that lasts for more than 5 minutes is unlikely to stop without medical intervention and can quickly become life threatening. We advise people to start heading to the car and get their vet on the phone once a seizure has gone on for longer than 3 minutes, so that you are well on your way once the 5 minute mark has been reached. Finally, if your pet has a seizure and isn’t acting completely normally within 30 minutes, please seek care straight away."

Great post @nellbell

so, for some reason I cannot access that link…but re-read this post tonight, because we may have had our very first seizure - and I am unable to sleep!

I have my camera ready to video… Bass is snoring right by my bed-side - but HOLY MOLY, seeing, what I believe was, a seizure scared the BE-GEEPUZ out of me tonight!!

I will be on this site researching all night and am hoping for my bully fam to offer some suggestions
