Epilepsy Protocol

Well my dog started having seizures.

It took two days ago, but they were both around 2 months. I do not know thats what they were at the time.

She had one yesterday and I called my mother who has a dog with seizures and had a past with seizures

And she confirmed that it was a seizure (she is also a nurse, but not for animals)

She gave me the number for a veterinary neuro. I called and set up an appointment.

After talking with me, he does not want to see it again now.

Well, she had another seizure this morning. The neuro vet, my vet regularly, and three other veterans I called said they would see her after she had four seizures in a period of 30 days.

They want me to keep a log of the time one day it happens, what it does, all that fun.

So it seems to be the protocol when it is a dog that has suddenly seized develped.

They said the type of seizure is not a great evil. And it is not, she is fully conscious during them, she can still walk. It does not breathe or move.


Thus, after it has 4 within 30 days or if they become more frequent. Each of them will see and do some tests.

It is only a year by road. They want to test for epilepsy.


Now, people who responded to what I can do for her.

Tell me find a new vet, yours is an idiot. But if 5 veterinarians have told me they can not do anything until she had more, and is a drug of last resort anyway.

That is how bad a veterinarian?

Just wondering.


And how is it generally supported, if these veterans are wrong to say that?

Yes, it is the protocol for veterans wanting to sign log entries for a month which is basically watched her get by them because they need to learn and build a story on them to be able to treat accordingly. it is not really a "test" for whether they are epileptic. they will have to do blood work and to be able to correctly if the dose they need to take medications such as phenobarbital to control seizures.

ps you do not own anything terrible to you is why you are here to request info. this is not your fault at all that your dog has seizures.

In fact, my veterinary and would see my dog when she had first entered. It has been tested to see what happens, since phenobarb for a short period and was given valium to keep on hand to bring him to future crises.

So not all vets want your dog to have a lot of crises, each with the potential to cause damage to the brain before you see your dog.

I've never seen a dog with seizures. He was a mutt of 50 books and has had seizures all his life, but they were much more frequent when he was on the chip oral and tick preventive medicine. Seemingly, many dogs have reacted this way and they have taken the form of the product on the market.

I also heard EHV hot dog and / or onions give dogs seized but it's just word-of-mouth, not a veterinarian or veterinary studies.
