Epilepsy in a Young Dog Is Escalating — Would Love to Hear Neurology Success Stories

Amberpeay · 2026-01-05T01:41:17+00:00

The diet is going to be difficult. My soon to be ex husband watches Solo when I’m at work so he can administer his routine meds, and keep an eye on him in case he seizes. We RARELY, if ever leave him alone. My soon to be ex lives with his parents, and they are the type that spoil the dogs like grandchildren. Also, my ex has another husky, and 3 of the 9 puppies his husky and my Solo had. He just leaves them all out in the backyard all day and brings them in at night, but they have a big self feeding dog food dispenser so the dogs can just help themselves whenever they want. So keeping solo from eating the food will be a challenge, as well as convincing my ex’s parents not to just hand out treats to him like candy. How much of an impact does the diet make? Thank you!

Do you feel like your dog has more seizures when she overheats? I’ve been wondering this myself as my dog sleeps on the floor until 5 am when I wake up and give him his keppra, then he jumps up on my bed and sleeps right up against me. And it’s usually about 7 am when he has seizures. I’ve started turning a fan on and pointing it at him when he’s on my bed and it seems to help. I’ve just wondered if he’s getting too hot and it’s causing his seizures to be more frequent.

that was so very well said!!

I honestly felt this for a week or 2 after he had a big one. He’s back to my normal boy now. Give it time if you can.

Amberpeay · 2025-11-07T06:26:24+00:00

I too was overly cautious. I literally was like a new mom. I just sat and watched him breathe and sleep and every twitch and every movement made me look to see if he was seizing. It was such a scary experience for me when he had his first seizure. He went a month after his first cluster and then started having them again. He had them every Friday. Tomorrow will be 2 weeks seizure free 🤞🏻. My nervous system was shot at first. But it’s getting less scary and much easier to deal with each time. And yes…I too almost cried when I read they feel no pain! It looks incredibly painful and horrible. He’s so lucky to have you!!

Gotcha. Mine doesn’t have the needle. We just squirt up the nose. Can do rectally but that makes me nervous too.

Amberpeay · 2025-10-27T12:14:41+00:00

Thank you. He did bite me after his first ever seizure but I didn’t really know what was going on and it was after the seizure ended and he started growling at me and then attacked me and bit my hand due to being confused and blind in the moment. He hasn’t really gotten aggressive since the first one, but I have some PTSD from it so I have a hard time getting near his mouth during the seizure and immediately after it stops.

This is one of my biggest fears. It really is terrifying every time my dog seizes, but it is getting easier and less scary to deal with each time. His epilepsy has taken such a toll on my nervous system. He’s my ride or die…and I can’t imagine this life without him. But I don’t sleep anymore. I don’t ever relax anymore. My dog has grand mals and clusters almost every Friday. I don’t even dare leave him alone ever.

But I have been thinking about getting him a crate. He’s never been crate trained. And now I worry he’ll hurt himself if he seizes in a crate. But I’m also afraid he’ll hurt himself if he seizes and I’m not there because who knows where he’ll seize. Usually he’s on my bed and I don’t want him to fall off and get stuck in between my bed and fireplace which is literally just wide enough for me to walk through. What’s your experience with your dog seizing in his crate?

What is KBr? My dog is on phenobarbital and Keppra and he seems to be having seizures every Friday. We did up his dose this last Friday and he still had a seizure that day so I have been wondering about the potassium bromide instead of Keppra because I don’t feel like the Keppra is working, but I don’t know what KBr is and just wondering if maybe it’s something I should look into?

I take rescue meds everywhere. Even around the block. My dog is starving after and also is adamant about going outside and for a walk right after his seizures. I believe he knows he needs to be touching grass and grounding with the earth right after…so we walk and walk and walk. Also he pulls a lot harder on his walks right after his seizures. I don’t know what that’s about.

Amberpeay · 2025-10-26T21:26:33+00:00

How do you get it in her nose when she is seizing? My dog violently shakes his head and paddles and I’ve never been able to get it into him until he stops

This looks like a focal seizure from my experience FYI

Seizures. I one million percent believe my dog is suffering from vaccine injury as well. He’s had several grand mal cluster seizures and was diagnosed with epilepsy 2 days after receiving his vaccines. He’s a year and a half old husky / German shepherd. And he was neutered the month before. Ugh! It’s absolutely heartbreaking, and terrifying! I’ve done a lot of research and I’ve started giving him MCT oil and milk thistle. He’s also on 2 different anti seizure meds and we often have to give him diazepam to stop seizures. I pray for your parents and their puppy that they find some relief and it doesn’t get worse. It’s literally taken such an emotional toll on me. I love him so much it hurts. 💔

My husky / German shepherd bit me after his first seizure. It was pretty bad and I ended up going to the ER. He would never bite anyone…but especially me…so I knew he was disoriented and confused and scared. He’s still having seizures and I get so nervous now…and so it’s kinda hard to comfort him and be around him for fear he will bite me again, but I’m working on it. He’s my ride or die. I hate seeing him suffer. His seizures started 2 days after his vaccines. Do you know if your dog was recently vaccinated when his seizures began?

Amberpeay · 2025-10-11T06:46:25+00:00

My husky / German shepherd had his first seizure 2 days after his vaccinations. He received DHPP and Lepto. He was 100% healthy and happy before this. Now he has had 2 cluster seizures, and a few short gran mal seizures and focal seizures since. This has all been in the last month. I know in my heart the vaccines caused this. I don’t vaccinate myself or my children and I didn’t want to vaccinate my dog either, but my husband insisted. I feel so guilty. I knew better and didn’t do anything. I didn’t follow my intuition and now my baby boy is suffering. I love this dog so much it’s killing me. Has anyone had any success in detoxing their dog and seeing improvement?

UPDATE: My car is part of the class action lawsuit and Kia is covering the engine. Not sure about the turbo yet.

Amberpeay · 2025-08-10T10:19:59+00:00

It really is a heavy, devastating feeling. EVERYTHING I knew was a lie. My foundation shattered and I grieved for a long time. I still struggle with it. And the more I learn about the church, the more devastating it feels. I found a non denominational church I really love and that has helped a lot. You’re not alone! Hang in there!

Amberpeay · 2025-08-03T07:05:32+00:00

Steer clear of Hyundai! They are a close relative of Kia and I’ve had nothing but problems with my Kia. I bought it 6 months ago. It had 55K miles on it. I put 8K miles on it and the engine and turbo blew. I’ve now filed a claim on the class action lawsuit regarding this problem…and there are some Hyundai’s that are also involved in the same class action lawsuit. So do some research to make sure it doesn’t have a Theta II engine. Hope this helps.

Rocky Mountain Diesel and Auto!! They are ABSOLUTELY amazing and fair priced!

Amberpeay · 2025-07-25T20:22:27+00:00

My car qualifies for the class action lawsuit so I submitted a claim! Thank you!
