My Belgian Shepherd had been epileptic since a year old, and controlled with daily tablets from the vet. When he started a seizure, I was about to give a phenobarbitone suppository, which left him dazed and sleepy for hours. I gave him some drops of CBD oil which I use for chronic pain. Having heard it is of use for childhood epilepsy I thought I would try it, we are all mammals. In the time it took to get the dropped back in the bottle, from lying stiff with terrified eyes and gritted teeth, he was sitting up and smiling. No side effects, no grogginess, just back to normal. I started giving him a few drops daily and he never had another seizure.
This is self help, keep a bottle of CBD oil handy and treat your epileptic dog. It's a cannabinoid, same as the endocannabinoids the bodies of ALL MAMMALS make, and it;s the safest medicine around for dogs and humans, or any other mammal friend you have.
I would never let a dog suffer a seizure without acting. The dog he talks about should NOT be sedated or injected, just give several drops by mouth and the seizure will disappear. Taken daily the dog will never have another. If the vet merely hopes to reduce but not enttirely stop all seiizures he's admitting defeat for pharma meds. There is no such failure with CBD, nature's remedy. Don';t take my word for it, try it and see. It's totally safe.
My irish Setter started having seizurs at age 5. He is now 6. He is on 300mg zonisamide 2x per day, 1000mg keppra 2x perr day and 100mg gabapentin 2x per day. Hhe iss still having seizers and they have increased to almost every day.
For clarification, delta-9 THC is the only schedule 1 cannabinoid, and while CBD has been studied for use in humans and shows some efficacy, there are only a few small studies that suggest efficacy in canines
Hello, my cat has been taking half of a 16.2mg phenobarbital pill every 12 hours for seizures. It worked fine for about a year. Now she is having more seizures. Almost daily. Can I increase the dose? She weighs more now (about 11 pounds). Thanks for any guidance.
My kitten just had a seizure. I'm assuming it's her 1st. I rescued her from the 20degree weather. She's probably 4months old.. I'm already in love with midnight that's her name.. I'm so scared for her.. all I could do and still doing is cry. And tell her that I'm so sorry this is happening to her.. I've never seen an animal or a person have a seizure. It was most definitely a seizure. She was shaking in my arms. Her eyes were wide and twitching. And doing biting with her mouth. I'm so scared for her. I won't be sleeping tonight.. this baby has mama to take care of her
I can't find the download section, would you be so kind as to provide a direct link to the status epilepticus protocol? ty. Would you please do a video dedicated to Status Epilepticus? This video has helped me a lot.
My dog is sick. His walk is wobbly everytime and everyday since yesterday he always has seizures. His saliva is dripping. He is 10 yrs old. What could be the problem? Is it his heart?
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 😇🙏❣💟

i realise this video is quite dated… our senior dog had seizures a week prior to his passing.. can ehrlichlia or heartworm cause that?
Would a dialated pupil on one side with a head tilt and nystagmus that comes and goes in severity lean more towards a brain tumor?
Too bad they don’t have dog Neurologists everywhere. They could help many pets!!

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