To all the owners' who have dogs suffering from seizures may have good results. I love you all who take care of the dogs till they get old and die naturally.
Sharing this is getting me immense pain and my heart is literally getting tear apart that my doll Kristee 14 yrs old passed away last saturday 16th July left my heart and soul wounded for life. I lost my precious stone. Knowing the fact I won't be able to see the most beautiful charming face ever in my life just wrenches my heart . I have no idea how my life would be after her. My days just started with her and ends with her.
My 13 year old rott. Bent backwards and couldn't breathe. I pulled her mouth open. She took in air , and listened to me when I told her to breathe,,,,while holding her mouth open. She's still with me. STELLA
I did that with my 16 year old Husky Jane just last night. She doesn't have long
What causes myoclonic seizures in dogs? My darling Ben started having them, but they became more frequent and the last one lasted over two hours. It was devastating to watch and finally I decided it was time to help him. It was the toughest decision I have ever had to make. I found giving him a small amount of cannabis butter helped initially, but the frequency of seizures escalated very quickly. Then it was time to visit our vet. This was over four years ago, but I still cry when I think of it. PS Ben was 15 years 6 months old. A Yorkie x Daxie.
So sorry
I wish I saw this video sooner. I didn't know my dog was having seizures until it gotten really bad. R.i.p. Duke.
I feel bad 4 duke
Same here Rest in Peace Murphy
Same just had to surrender my envy boy to save his life bc I was out of money unfortunately now me and my daughter are broken he’s at a rescue in Macon Georgia somewhere and they saved him put on diff meds but now we can’t ever see him again or have him back it’s so unfair we didn’t ask for covid to happen or be a single mom and just me and my daughter no family no friends no father no child support nothing and I was waiting for my taxes and unemployment over 7 months I would’ve spent it all to help and save him and keep him home w us he was only almost two years old and out of nowhere they happened in June this year and he had more then 5 Monday last week and nothing I had for meds was helping I thought he was dying and we were going to our local rescue to put him down bc his vet was over an hour away and I was afraid he wouldn’t make it and die in my kids arms in pain and I didn’t want that for him now we just want him home safe where he’s not feeling like we abandoned him I just was in a panic and didn’t know what else to do it happened too fast it’s not fair they should help ppl not rip them apart our poor envy boy so sad I stopped work to make sure someone was w him 24/7 so he was safe and not scared my daughter got two jobs to try and help out and save the money needed etc etc just so sad and so unfair he’s only known us two poor little guy we are so sad will never be the same so I understand your loss it is painful they’re family it hurts so much so sorry for your loss too hun 😢
I’m watching this video bc I’m worried my dog is having seizures, and coincidentally, my dog’s name is duke too 🙁
@@jillmarie3235 why can’t you ever see him?
Just got a AKC registered pomeranian pup my 4th pom. He is 14 weeks old and ad a seizure. I lasted about a minute and recovered in about 10 minutes. I first thought he got bite by a rattlesnake or copperhead since I was rattlesnake bit myself in April. I could find a snake and saw no obvious bite area. He was barking and couldn't control his movement. I have a vet appointment in the morning. Hope this isn't something he needs long term care for my oldest pomeranian was on expensive medicine for over ten years for heart issues.
My dog had his first seizure. I started CBD tincture and it's helping so far
My dog had a seizure for almost an hour then she could not walk properly and would fall if she walked and could not hold her head up either. She has been like this since we rescued her 3 years ago.
My dog is now blind in one eye and has weakness in front left leg, blind in left eye. Cluster seizures. Didn’t have one for a year and a half.
Toxins can cause them too. Mold especially ochratoxin a is very common in grains. I had neurological issues for years. Ended up being mold toxicity.
Yes! We actually talk about this on our blog: sevneurology.com/blog/toxins-for-dog-seizures/
I had a dog that had episodes like this except she would get really stiff and sway back and forth- pupils would dilate- sometimes drooling.
what ended up happening to Cleo?, my dog might be in the same situation
A few months before seizures I took him to vet because he kept shaking his head like “no” and he was treated for beginning of an ear infection.
My dog started having seizures two months ago and is on like number 7 and is currently on phenobarbital. 2.5 year old Labrador
All have been while he is asleep.
First seizure I saw was just days after I tested negative from having Covid.
I haven’t found a vet yet that doesn’t treat me like a cash cow.
Vet said we didn’t find anything in bloodwork here’s some pills and an mri would cost thousands to find out if he has a tumor. Now pay almost $300
My dog Oliver is a Service Dog and he was cleared by his vet to work and hes been having this these wierd fits at random. He can be sleeping on the floor then stand up walk somewhere then ends up loosing all control of his balance he acts like hes constantly falling over and Hitting his head and face on things. And the vet has said with every test hes fine and it is worrying because I dont want to be working a dog who is I'll.
Have they done an MRI?
My dog is having full body shivers, appears scared, and can't walk for short bouts. 3rd time it's happened in 2 months. The 1st time lasted a minute. 2nd time was a solid 10 minutes. The one tonight lasted just 1 minute but the shivering was way worse. I saw dog epilepsy videos online it and it doesn't look like a full blown seizure cause my dog doesnt have that "locked up" look. 2 vets sent me home with no answers after he did it a 2nd time. Idk what to do at this point.
Thank you for your comment. We are so sorry to hear your pet is going through this. Unfortunately, in order to give clinical advice, our Neurologist would need to evaluate a pet through a consultation. At that time, treatment options and recovery could be discussed. We are here for you if you need us. To find a location near you visit us online at sevneurology.com.
My dog seems to get them if he holds his stool to long..which is weird cuz he goes out to use bathroom 2-4x a day..but when i noticed he hasnt had a bm in by morning....i watch him closely as a seizure seems to be the end result. Then hes fine..Vet tests says its idiopathic?
I got a puppy n he is one year old. He shakes a lot. I am not sure if it is due to cold or he is having seizure. I am worried. He shakes while sleeping a lot and while eating. I wish he is fine
I hope you figured it out but some dogs tend to just shake, mostly smaller breeds.
My 11month old pup got neutered 3 days ago. I got him a cloud pillow cone because it’s comfier. But tonight i saw him laying on his bed looking sad but he was sleeping.. i didn’t even notice really. He didn’t really want to wake up.. i was gonna put him on my bed so he could finally sleep with me tonight. He eventually gets up i him in my bed and i notice his head is shaking.. he lays down… his head is still shaking. Just his head. And it’s not like she’s flopping his ears I’m talking like SHAKING. Little small but a lot of fucking shaking. He’s never DONE THIS BEFORE! I’m concerned he’s having a seizure.
I wish someone could’ve helped me and my daughter last Monday we had to surrender our fur baby to animal rescue to save his life he started having seizures and he was on meds twice a day and then it happened that last Monday over night he started having even worse seizures and they wouldn’t stop so I couldn’t take him to his vet over an hour away and I was afraid he would die he’s only a year and half and they said they can save him but we would never see him again instead of putting him down I just didn’t want him to be in pain or suffering but it’s not right that instead of helping us and him they just ripped him away from us and he’ll get help and be adopted to someone else we are in Macon Georgia my daughter and I can’t stop crying and want him back if I knew it was a simple switch of meds and he wouldn’t die I would not have taken him there but I was in a panic and didn’t want my daughter to see him die in her arms we knew he would need tons of money in care so I quit my job and my daughter got two jobs to try and help out and save all the money he needed he’s only 2 pounds so I didn’t want him to be alone and die or get seriously hurt or be scared it wouldn’t have been fair to him so all of that all that we did just to lose him in the end instead of them working w us and trying to help us all it’s not fair I am a single mother no family no friends no father no child support nothing so it’s hard enough as it is then the pandemic took so much from us then our fur baby getting sick after almost having him 2 years then boom the worst thing happened and we felt horrible for him he’s such a good boy he’s never known anyone but us we got him so my daughter wouldn’t be all alone when I had to work and we were all on quarantine now it’s so empty here no joy no happy sounds no more hearing his little feet coming down the hall no more sleeping w him next to me and we are heart broken and so worried about him too don’t want him to think we just abandoned him either so if anyone knows the rescues in Macon GA and can find envy and help him get home please reach out to me and help us we are so lost and broken we are new here and I actually have a friend I made here bc I saved so many dogs on the streets she works for animal control she’s an officer and she knows how good I am to my animals and even ones that aren’t mine too I just want him to be ok and I’m so broken my daughter tried so hard and time unfortunately just wasn’t on our side I am still waiting for my taxes and unemployment after 7 months now or I would have spent any amount of money I had to to not only save him and make sure his quality of life is the best it can possibly be he’s safe and not scared or in pain uncomfortable I’d do anything for him I could we just need help we can’t find out any info on him besides they switched him off the meds our vet had him on to phenobarbital and he was ok w o anymore seizures as of last week now no one will answer me it’s heartbreaking my daughter doesn’t even want to live now w o him even if we can just visit him or something to know he’s ok even would be better then nothing poor little buddy I can’t stop crying if anyone can help us pls pls reach out anytime thanks 😢
Vets and animal organizations tried to get me to surrender or euthanize mine. He is now on phenobarbital and still having seizures.
My Boston just started having what lookes like partial seizures and walking funny and won't eat or drink. I took her to the vet and they kept her but can't seem to figure out what is wrong with her. I am so worried.
There are lots of causes of seizures in dogs. We have a video that explains them. A veterinary neurologist has specialized training to help find the cause and treat the seizures. Where are you located? We can point you towards one.
@@SEVNeurology hi I am from India..my dog is 6 years old and is having seizure like thing since last 2 weeks.... She tilts her head backwards and is little stiff... But she responds... What to do please suggest
I have a 20 yr old pomeranian that's been having episodes, as we call it. Not sure if it's a seizure or not. Yes, we see the vet regularly and because of this we've made end of life arrangements but can someone please tell me what is happening to her. I just want an answer besides " an episode " please help....so this is what happens, she gets a little antsy & wanders around the house then stops. Looses all ability to stand. Falls to the ground and lets out a double bark ( everytime but doesn't do this any other time) lays down chin up stops breathing, ive brought her back with cpr 10 times in the past month. She's really tired afterwards but within 20 minutes she's up & acting like nothing happened. Can someone please tell me what's happening? I've done everything to save her but these are getting closer & closer together. I'm forced to ask here because I've been searching the internet with no luck. Please help.
Um I only read the first few words… GOD BLESS ON 20 YEARS OLD!!!!!!!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
How is she doing now? Hope she’s all well 💕💕
@@gaboobie8675 Unfortunately no. She started having the seizures twice a day and several times I couldn't bring her back. I just couldn't stop & she would finally come back. My family & I made the decision to let her go & rest in peace. It was really hard but the right thing to do. We had a great celebration of life for her & now she's in her beautiful bed next to her daughter, that was 13 yrs old when she passed. It was really hard on all of us. 20 yrs is a long time. But I wanted to thank you for your kind words. Be blessed.
Hello Michelle how are you doing today
My beagle poo has been having random episodes for 2 years since he was 10 months old...exams have been normal...they last for a couple minutes he never loses control and I'm so frustrated...during the episode he then vomits and is fine
Do he also urinate while having seizure?
How often does your dog has been having episodes?
@@jessahorca3167 since he was 10 months old.. its very random...sometimes once a month sometimes once every 2 months sometimes every 6...no he doesn't urinate while having an episode and he responds to me.. he just goes under our dresser until he feels stable usually 2 to 5 minutes
This jus happened to my dog!!! We are at the emergi care now!!!!!! I freaked out!!!!!
Idiopathic epilepsy? Mine vomits after a seizure and is conscious during a seizure
Sounds like a petit mal seizure in the first case, if the dog had lost bowel control then it would have been a gran mal seizure. Seizures can kill you like tje pne that killed Prince John , brother of King George V.
Why is it so expensive for dog to get MRI ? My dog has seizures and he got referee but it’s like 6K and for them to tell me yes it’s a brain tumor or no tumor it’s epilepsy here’s the prescription
Could them getting to hot cause it.
Free no not right now because I am on medication that’s helping me control. My Ceasers are used to take Keppra 500 mg extended release five pills once a day but my recent visit to my Neurology doctor has it got changed from three pills twice a day 500 mg and it’s not extended release.
Tick bites can cause seizures as well..
Seizure-like episodes had us concerned with our 7-year old Rotty/Chow-Chow mix last summer. After 4 episodes in 7 months, we looked at the fact that he was gaining weight and his coat looked horrible. After a lot of research, we asked the vet to do a thyroid panel on our boy. Yep, hypothyroidism. Hypothyroidism can present with vertigo, balance problems, and loss of coordination in humans (not frequently), so why not dogs. DO NOT discount what is here in this video, as it is great information and quite relevant. However, do not rule out a thyroid panel test. The thyroid controls so much in the body of mammals. As for our pooch, one year later, his coat is as thick and as rich as it was when he was 2-years of age, he is back to his normal weight of 97 lbs., and he has not had a seizure-like episode since beginning his thyroid treatment.
Hypothyroidism occasionally can cause episodes. I most “commonly” see it associated with vestibular disease (balance problems). It is uncommon but needs to be on the vet’s list of possible causes. The thing to be careful of is that hypothyroidism is very common, but it actually being the cause is uncommon. So one shouldn’t always assume finding hypothyroidism is a dog with seizures is the cause.
@Michael Quillen My yorkie has been having episodes of tremors, 'chomping', and weakness in his hind legs. He just turned 14 so I was very concerned. Took him to our holistic Vet and he was diagnosed with hypothyroid and pre-Cushing's.
@@ShellG. I hope the diagnoses and treatment of your Yorkie proves to be successful for your dog. Going on two years now with my Rotty/Chow-Chow' diagnosis and he is doing great on his treatment.
What is your treatment plan pleaseeee
Can eating meat with garlic be the cause of a seizure in a dog?
My labradoodle became epileptic and I know it sounds crazy but we noticed that beef have been a triggered I notice after eating beef 2-3 days late she will have a seizure so I make sure we don’t give her beef at all, keep an eye and track what your feeding him/her.
Garlic is toxic to dogs
@@kamywells9231 garlic in large amounts is toxic but it is not. Garlic is actually good for dogs
@@nancyleon3248 mine is same with beef. We cannot give her beef because of this, guessing sensitivity to any fat (despite me cutting/draining fat)
Was it beef? Some dogs are sensitive to beef (and other meats )
Flea pills
I worry the flea pills cause it. Fleas were so bad this year, there seemed like no other choice, but it's making me a nervous wreck for the summer. And I have no idea what to do about heartworm prevention.
@@michah7214
I read it online,
When we give them flea pills, we're actually feeding them the poison that kills fleas.
I used to hold my dog and hug him as close and tight without hurting him, till the seizures went away, when i read about the flea pills, i stopped giving him the pills and the seizures went away.
Good luck
You can get flea colllars now that last like 8 months. They are expensive but that's what we've done to avoid the flea pills :) I'm not too sure how they work but have a look into it of you're interested!
can hypothyroidism cause seizures in dogs?
Why do you ask?
Hello Carole how are you doing today
Is there any cure for them
Typically there is no “cure” for seizures, but it all depends on the underlying reason for the seizures. For example, if the seizures are due to a toxin, removing the toxin can “cure” the seizures. But causes such as epilepsy or tumors typically can’t be cured. They can be managed to make them as unlikely or as mild as possible.
@@SEVNeurologyactually sir I have a 6 months old puppy, &foam is coming out of his mouth & is also eating jerks...😥😥😥
I have a Maltese poodle mix. She started foaming at the mouth and chewing very fast a couple weeks ago but it went away. That has happened 2 to 3 times. But last night she started doing it and then went into a very scary convulsion and started peeing and shaking, breathing very heavily and running on her side. It lasted maybe 2 minutes and slowly came out of it. We took her outside and when she came back in she drank a full bowl of water. I am kinda starting to think it may be the blood sugar issue because she doesn't seem to eat all that much, and we have tried her on multiple dog foods. I am currently feeding her crave brand dog food. We are taking her to the vet today to get this figured out.
Me too my dog foam coming out of his mouth
@@SEVNeurology I'm going to try to switch to Hills brand small breed kibble. She seems to really like that food and enjoy eating too. She wasn't eating much of the Crave brand and I'm thinking she may not be getting enough nutrients to sustain her over night. Her attack always come in the early morning hours when she has fasted and where blood sugar is at its lowest. I also purchased some calming chews with hemp as well, to help deal with her anxiety issues. I will hear back from the vet today about her blood work results.
