Dog seizures

[Jerry]

I have a 6 year old lab that has sporadic seizures, maybe one or two every 6 months or so, the last few weeks he’s had a couple, once they subside he’s normal like nothing happened. I’m worried about him being home alone when one happens now. Worried he may fall off the couch or down the stairs while I’m not here to watch him. My vet said the medicine isn’t going to stop them and just be worse on his body, I’ve tried cbd but nothing works. Any advice would be appreciated.

When I met my wife she had a Jack Russell named Pretzel that had seizures. Not a daily thing but at least once a week. The vet prescribed Phenobarbital and another drug I can't recall right now. The vet told her the drugs would shorten her life. So we stopped giving them to her around 08. She would still have the seizures but we couldn't tell that they were anymore frequent than with the drugs. Most of the time she would only have them if something triggered it like tangling up with another dog.
Anyway Pretzel lived to be 17 and died down in Darien which was where I buried her. Given her condition I think that's a LONG life for any dog.

Hug him and love him that's what I would do. I really hate this for both of you dogs 4 legged are blessings from God. Angels that bark and give sloppy kisses.

We have a weiner dog on 2 meds now. 4 times a day. They have cut down greatly on the seizures. She was having 3 or 4 per month. I wish she only had them every 6 months. Talk to the vet about the meds. She may go but I’m not going to give up on her.

Seizures… like a low blood sugar episode? Acting goofy and unsteady…?

The reason I ask is I’ve been dealing with it. I think we have it narrowed down to a recurring uti. Scary

I have one that has seizures, we have narrowed it down to the medication they are giving her for heart worm, fleas, and the vaccines she receives, so unfortunately we had to give up the medications. Since then not one seizure.

My Avatar had seizures when he was alive, doctors could not find anything wrong with him, He lived until 16 1/2 yrs.

Ripe old age!

My dog died from a seizure last month. We were afraid the seizure medicine would be worse for her so we didn't get it. I'll always hate myself for that
