  2. Thank you, thank you! This happened to me with my husky last night. It was scary but I somehow did everything except the filming of it. Waiting to see the vet now. Thank you again. 🐺

  3. Thank you for posting this, My border collie husky started having seizures this year in the end of May 2021 at 1 1/2 years, while she was beginning second heat phase, she was taken to the vet, they recommended I spay her, so she had an overectomie ( removal of ovaries instead of ful histerectomie) at the end of August 2021, however she is still having seizures, on october 8th and today now 4 2021. the vet placed my dog on Kappra, that I must give her every 8hours ie . 6a.m. 2p.m. 10 p.m. however this evening at 6 15p.m. when we were all quiet relaxing in bed watching the news she had another seizure. I then gave me some Valium in liquid form ( that my vet gave me to give in cease of my dog siezing over 5 minutes to give it to by the anus. Since my dog only had a seizure lasting less than 2 min, I gave her some liquid 1.5 ml valium through the mouth after her seizure had ended and she was back to her senses and also gave her another Kappra and called my vet and also the emergency vet, They told me to give her her next does of Kappra at her regular time of 10p.m and also to give her 2.5 ml table valium before going to bed to make sure she does not have a seizure during the night. Its really traumatic to see a dog have a seizure. Thank you for posting this. I hope your dog phoenix is still alive. Hope to hear back from youi or see you in another video. God Bless!

  4. Coming to this video bc my 4 year old husky just had a seizure and I was so scared and panicked bc I didn’t know what to do. I just kept my pug and myself away

  5. Thank you for this video! My husky Astraea also is epileptic. I know every dog is different, but to every epileptic dog owner: NEVER ever ever leave the room if your dog is having a seizure, UNLESS it’s to go grab ice, (which helps a lot when doggo is having a seizure!) or a towel really quick. Seizure behaviors can change, and some dogs may bite things during the postictal phase, which can lead to objects being swallowed. Astraea once swallowed a sock! I only noticed because I swore there was a sock on the floor prior. Also, her seizures almost always occur at night, so if this is the case, sleep in the same room as your dog so you can tend to them. Lastly, if your dog isn’t on a soft surface such as a couch or a bed having the seizure, I will sometimes put my hand underneath their head if her head is moving a lot, making sure to keep away from the mouth at all times, to prevent her from banging it on the floor. Good luck & prayers for our epileptic babies 💛

  6. My dog just started having seizures and he’s 12. His first one happened the same week of a back injury. Thank you for this video. It’s comforting

  7. Have you heard anything about an epileptic husky screaming and barking like crazy. My cousin has a husky and has had several seizures during the last 2 weeks. They took him to the vet and the next day when they picked him up, he began going crazy in the car ride home. He still kept screaming and whining once he got home. Anything helps thank you.

  8. Thank u so much. Im getting a 9 month old husky on August 1st (6 more days!!!) and he had a seizure today and he has had 1 other a few weeks ago. Now me and my parents believe that it is bc he was abused but my sister(the person he is with rn) keeps making up reason like the first one she said was bc he’s allergic to air fresheners and the one today was bc of a milk bone. But since we arent sure exactly y he is having seizures once we get him were going to take him to a vet and have test done to find out y and see if there is medicine that could help him. And if the abuse is y he is having seizures then we will be turning in my 20 year old nephew (the one who abused him). Lets hope that it is just from stress tho and that there is a medicine to prevent it from happening again

  9. Just as you thought you couldn't get any more stress.
    Reeler: when your dog has a seizure it looks like they're possessed and you're like who is in my house…
    Me: Thanks for the heads up just got a new puppy.

  10. You pointed out some very helpful things within this video. I work with furry pet parents after they have spent all kinds of money at the vets looking for answers on how to help their furry loved one and they feel all hope is lost. Hopefully this information here might be helpful:

    Seizures are a common symptom of poor digestive, kidney and liver health or one can strike after the body is given a neurotoxin (poison) that reacts to the central nervous system. When the body's digestive, kidney and liver health become poor than the body has to call in some reinforcements to help the kidneys do the most important job – remove the toxins and wastes from the body. So, the endocrine system is brought in to help out. This means that the adrenal glands are often stimulated as well as the thyroid gland and the pituitary gland. When these glands are stimulated, blood flow is increased. The pituitary gland is at the base of the brain in a small boney cap that doesn't give it much room to grow. When the blood flows through, the pituitary gland is increased. It swells and puts pressure on the brain which can cause a seizure. So, the seizure is simply the body adapting to the toxicity and stress that it is under.  

    The standard vet approach suggests managing health conditions with prescription commercial dog foods, multiple medications or surgery, but this does not supply the body with the nutrients necessary and actually puts additional strain on the digestive, kidneys and liver and the body's organs and glands continue to break down. The kidneys then has trouble getting rid of toxins and wastes and further health problems develop.

    The key is to start at the very foundation of health which is a healthy digestive tract, healthy kidneys and healthy liver. Heal these areas and the seizures will disappear. Poor digestive, kidney and liver health are due to poor nutrition, an improper diet and exposure to toxins and medications. The thing to do is NOT focus on the symptoms, but focus instead on improving your dogs digestive, kidney and liver health. This is done with better nutrition which is something your vet unfortunately cannot help you with.

  11. Great video Meeler! I have had 3 epileptic huskies and have gone thru literally hundreds of seizures with them over the last 12 years. I always wanted to do a video about what I have learned over the years, but your video definitely went over all the important things. Great job! Good luck with your doggie.

  12. Thank you for sharing this information with us, we lost our first husky (Sasha) three years ago. It started with a massive event in the morning around 7 am than another at 5, then again at 9 pm, that’s when the vet recommended putting her out of her misery. It was the hardest thing we had to do so we can totally relate to this posting.

  13. I never really thought about making sure I'm prepared for this… just in case. My Husky has never had a seizure, but if it were to happen, I know I would freak out and be completely clueless about what I should do. Thank you for sharing this video! You're such a great dog mom!

  14. I'm so sorry you have to deal with that and that she suffers…maybe research ingredients in vaccines plus I wouldn't do vaccines any more. But that being said, I'm very sad she's having to go through that..I'll pray for her. Great video!

  15. A serious but relevant subject. I was in human rescue the early part of my life and I'd say this advice is very prudent. Thanks for posting. ❤ to Phoenix.
