hi,
my dog was having epilepsy problem, wat should i do ?
something it can happen 3 time a day, mostly happen once a week.
she is a 2 year old west highland terrier
My poor old Schnauzy started having seizures when she was l4. She had a good life, nothing could be done. I brought her home and carried her out and in (she was a standard) when she wanted to go. She was always a very clean dog. Her world was going around, standing out there, wondering what she wanted to do, or propped up to my leg and her head going in circles. The vet wanted me to keep her that way. Her and I knew absolutely that we couldnt continue that way, so off we went and had her put to sleep. Miss her to this day and so does Taffy my walker hound, and that is another story.
My lab has epilepsy, had many seizures daily. I do agree that a vet should assess your dog, but, and I say this guardedly, I don't agree with epilepsy medications.
We tried everything for our lab, not only did it not help the seizures, but it changed his life for the worse.
We finally found a great vet and his recommendation was green beans. Yes, green beans, daily, cooked, in his food.
He hasn't had a seizure since 2002.
The vet is your best bet, and do try the meds, not all dogs are the same, but also give the green beans a try, they won't hurt, could change your dogs life.
