    My dog has seizures for 30 minutes and it’s considered normal for her, we were also told that you do not have to take them to the vet’s office after every seizure. I think this video applies to dogs who don’t have epilepsy but still have seizures.

    HI, I have a dautsan mix and I think he has had a seziure. He was stiff in the head area and as he was trying to walk he was circleing left. There was a large amount of drool that was thick and sticky. After a whild i gave him some milk just a little and now he seems ok. How do I know if it was infact a seziure?

    I know how you feel. I uploaded a video of my dog, Harley, having a seizure for educational purposes for other dog owners who have epileptic dogs. After 2 years of fighting epilepsy, Harley died from a believed stroke.

    you can also treat with holistic medicines.
    the meds from a vet are very harsh and can cause liver or kidney failure after long period of use. you have nothing to lose from giving the natural remedies a go. i did with my dog and helps a lot.

    My dog Katrina was having a seizure. I kept telling my dad there was something wrong with her and that I wanted to take her to a vet, and he said everything was okay… I was only 12 so I just figured I’d listen to him, and then we woke up 2 hours later to her still shaking and my dad was crying over the phone and scheduling an appointment for the vet.

    When we got there it was too late.. she died in the morning :( ( RIP

    Eh, it depends. Often if a certain dosage works [this is done in humans as well. However, this isn't for epileptic patients, just those who have them for other reasons] then the vet will slowly wean off the medication, lowering the dosage week by week until nothing. Often the patient remains siezure free. I have not heard the thing about tumors.

    I have a black lab who was having seizures constantly about 4-5 every month. She was on regular dog food which contains BHA & BHT which I think might have been the cause of her seizures. Not wanting to put her on debilitating seizure medication I switched her to all natural dog food and she has been SEIZURE FREE ever since. I use a High protein dog food from Trader Joes & mix that with the wet dog food from there also. please try first b4 meds!
