It would be awesome if you could deepend the subject of the diseases that mimic seizuring activity, great webinar btw. Also you spoke about not breaking the tablets, were you talking about levetiracetam only, or phenobarbital as well? And why?
Thank you. I had a 3 year old golden retriever dog come in today having seizures since May ( usually at rest ) and a few more in Sept . Had a few short ones earlier today . Already on Kbr once a day and Phenobarb twice a day ( was in therapeutic range) with normal bloodwork from another vet and owner has Midazolam intranasal at home that doesn't seem to be working as well as it was for seizures . I added ext release Keppra twice day at 20mg/kg . Recommended specialist if All 3 not working but explained it's likely idiopathic epilepsy . Your video is very helpful.
I would like to know what the dog at or just after the 6 minute mark in your video was having. Our dog Rosie had what we think was a seizure but it looked very much like what the dog at the 6 minute mark had. She is about 8 years old and some sort of black lab mix. She had the episode in the morning. She got out of bed fast and was heading for the outside door as she does when she needs to go potty. I wasn't awake yet and heard her crashing around. I got up and she had defecated, falling partly into it and was all stiff with short small breaths.I didn't see her paddling much. I tried to comfort her to get her out of it. It lasted 10 or more minutes. It's been since 11/21/21 until 11/25/21 and she is getting around better, but still very week. I think she should be on a does of phenobarbital to stop her from having another one, but haven't heard back from the vet yet. And blood test to monitor levels. We took her to the vet and got rectal diazepam in case she had another one and are waiting on blood tests. We got her when she was 1 year old and she would spin around in circles and fall down and once in a great while have what we think are short half minute or so seizures. We took her to the vet then and she told us that Rosie's skull cavity was small for her brain size and that she might go crazy in older age because of that. But she seemed to outgrow her problem or at least it happened very few times and she went for daily walks a mile or more and had lots of energy playing with sticks and chasing balls, seemed to be in great shape. I'm trying to figure out what happened and get her back to normal. I'm going to see what i can find out about hypoglycemia in dogs. Thanks for the very informative video.
Hello. Thank you for sharing your understanding of seizures and treatment. Within the past year, my 3 yo Aussie began having random seizures. I treated him with CBD + MCT oil with a positive result of stopping seizures. When Buddy receives the oil 3x daily, no seizures . The two times that I reduced the amount given, Buddy had a seizure. In addtion to the CBD, I play music frequencies to relax his mind.
My boy has had 4 seizures in the last month and a half. He is one week from his 17th birthday. He has never had a seizure and my vet said that the MRI costs $1,500 -$2,500. But were waiting for the blood work to come back. As we drove home from the vet appointment my boy had a seizure. Then another and another and another and another one, I quit counting after his 20th seizure! I needed to get him to a vet because after seeing him suffering beyond belief all the vets refused to let us stop and look at him so we had to drive hours until we got to our home town and even then she was out to lunch and so she was not even able to administer a tranquilizer for 2 more hours! My boy in between seizures would bark and bark and it was ear shattering he was in so much pain. I blame the flea medication for his seizures but it didn't seem that the holistic vet we went to agreed. He wanted to see his blood work, I ended up euthanizing him to end his suffering. I was overwhelmed with heartache as just 2 weeks before that his housemate Kramer also a Bichon Frise passed away in my arms also due to a seizure! He was being treated for a bacterial infection. I now feel instead of giving him ampicillin I should have looked into what was causing his seizures.
Thank you so much. My 5 years old dog just have 1st seizures last Friday and 4 days later we has done MRI and we found something very similar to 15:57. I'm a bit worries about her and how to care her at home. Right now she is still in with the vet.
Thank you so much for your invested films and all the information you bring English is not my home language but still thank you very much it helps a lot 😇🙏❣💟

Meant to ask. What's the likelihood of UTI contributing to seizures? I've learned from a few vets it's possible. Thank you.
