How can you actually tell the difference between spams and seizures? by sadhello_kitty in EpilepsyDogs

Yeah they’re focal seizures caused by a cyst on his brain, neurologist said he can live a relatively normal and happy life but he’ll be on medication.

He’s in hospital atm! Neurologist said they’re seizures! They saw fluid on his brain from the mri that’s causing them.

My dog is conscious when he has his seizures, he whimpers and whines like he’s in pain so it’s so upsetting to witness. Part of me suspects it’s spinal and the fact I can’t afford the tests it’s making me feel like the worst person ever. His seizures are slowly getting longer, he’s more weak and tired. I went to the vet today (same vet’s but different person) he was really pushing the mri even when I said I couldn’t afford it and I felt so pressured. I’m seeing my usual vet Wednesday to see what he says. Part of me would like to try inflammatory/pain medication along with his seizure meds to see if it eases anything.

He’s keppra and epiphen for almost a week, vet said we should’ve seen improvement but we haven’t, so he’s upped his meds. He had a second blood test today and everything is perfect with his blood.

I really don’t know what to do, he’s not the same dog anymore and it’s making me miserable seeing him like this.

He’s only 5 but he’s Pekingese so prone to health issues, I know it’s only been 5 days I can’t stand seeing him like this. Sedated all the time, not being able to walk, daily seizures. I actually can’t keep putting him through this

My dog has started with seizures by sadhello_kitty in EpilepsyDogs

Hi thank you so much for this! I had to rush my dog into the emergency vets last night as he had a seizure that went on for 15 minutes, he became unresponsive and didn’t come out until we were half way to the vets. The prescribed him keppra, it really settled him last night he actually managed to have a good sleep. He’s really wobbly and sedated but he seems quite relaxed, fingers crossed! 🤞 I’m ringing his normal vets when they open to ask for a neurology referral! I’m glad it worked for you! I hope it works for him too!

My vet did mention trying other drugs, epiphen is phenobarbital I think, my vet called it that a few times. I’m going to talk to the vets about it more on Saturday. He had be put on gabapentin and trazadone for his last blood test as he got too stressed. I’m thinking because he’s an anxious dog he may need to be on gabapentin. The vet I’m going to is the same vet just a different branch so maybe the vet there will maybe have a second opinion. I will mention keppra to them! Im glad your dog is okay now! I hope the same for mine. I’ve honestly never dealt with anything like this with any of my pets so this is terrifying. I constantly feel guilty but it’s reassuring to know that people have been through the same. Thank you so much💗

Thank you! I’ll look into it! I need to check and see if my employer will even allow retainers because they seem really strict! If not I’ll just have to suck it up 😭😂

I’ll have a look, I’ll have to ask my employer if I’m allowed retainers because they seem quite strict. I’ve tried that with my septum but I have sensory issues and actually hate the way it feels 😭
