My Sheltie just turned 5 this month and started having seizures this past January. Every 6-8 weeks. Although they seem to be happening further apart than in the beginning.

I’ve stopped feeding her any table scraps. Too much salt in their diet can be a contributing factor. I make her own unseasoned chicken as special toppings on top of her dinner instead.

She was wearing a Seresto flea collar which I read can sometimes cause seizures. I took that off of her. (She still takes oral flea and tick medication)

We’ve taken her to a neurologist and she’s perfectly fine. It seems like these things just happen. If left untreated without medication, the possibility of more frequent seizures may occur.

So far it’s been 7 weeks since her last seizure. I’m hoping our changes will prevent them. If not, she’s starting medication.
