SEIZURES IN DOGS
A lot of store bought dog food can cause seizures in dogs. The two best foods we
have found which seem to have no side effects on dogs prone with seizures are
Rachel Rays Nutrish dog food, and Fresh Pet dog food.
Foods that are poisonous to dogs and that may cause seizures include:
Chocolate
Apple seeds
Nutmeg
Raw fish
Mushrooms
Hops
Caffeine
Macadamia nuts
Walnuts
Rhubarb
Grapes
Signals of an oncoming seizure are called an aura phase in which the dog is restless, vocalizing,
agitated, staring and seeking privacy or attention. This is followed by:
Collapse
Unconsciousness
Respiratory arrest
Treatment
Dogs can injure themselves from their involuntary movements during a seizure.
Using a towel or blanket, move the dog to a safe place.
Noise, movement and touch should be minimized to reduce stimulation that could
prolong the seizure.
Dogs cannot swallow their tongue during a seizure, so do not attempt to hold the tongue
out.
Seizures burn calories and can cause a dog to overheat.
Keep the dog in a well-ventilated or cool environment that is dimly lit.
Seizures that lost longer than five minutes or repeated seizures in which the dog does not
regain consciousness are a medical emergency, and immediate veterinary care is
necessary.
