Neurological problem, seizures - help please - Page 1

If your dog keeps having these seizures then I can only suggest that you take him to the ER Vet a.s.a.p. We can sit here and play mind guessing games until the cow comes up but while were playing (without blood test reults,etc) your dog  deteriorating from lack of proper care.

Please take him to the ER vet.

You do not say where you live. Are you in the United States? Describe please in more detail what you saw when you said the dog was seizing. Did the dog become unresponsive ever? Is the dog still taking dirprospan? Diprospan can cause seizures, but it is possible something else is going on. What is the antibiotic he is taking?

Has the dog been eating today and drinking enough water? Have you taken the dogs' temperature? If it is high, it could be causing the seizures and you must cool the dog down. Do everything you can to keep the dog quiet. Dim the lights, turn off all radio, tv and try to keep the environment as quiet as possible. Try to minimize your being upset and try to calm the dog as best you can and get him to rest. 

The pacing/agitation like behavior is likely related to post-ictal phase of seizing. However, the fact that he has had two in a short time is of real concern. If the seizures are very short and not frequent, it is scary, but probably can be just waited out and do all you can to simply protect the dog from injuring himself. Whatever you do, do NOT put your fingers or hand in his mouth for any reason or you may get bitten accidentally.

If the dog seizes more than 5-10 minutes at a time, this is a real emergency and he needs to be seen immediately. How far is the nearest veterinarian who would see you?

Good luck.

I meant to add as well that the dog having multiple seizures in a short time is also an emergency. However, I see from another post that you are in South America. If there is no vet who will see you, you will just have to hope that they stop and that he does not go into a status epilepticus, if indeed these are really seizures. Clearly, something is very wrong and he must be seen as soon as possible.

Best wishes for you and the dog.

If you cant get this animal treated then please dont let it suffer.

 I had a gsd that had seizures every 30 days like clock-work for 3 years.   No cause was ever determined, particularly for the "regularity" of the attacks.   She was on diazapam and phenobatol every day for 3 years and THAT never stopped the seizures from happening.  If the facilities are available, spend the money to have every test done, including MRIs.    My experience was nearly 20 years ago and technology (and its availability in verterinary settings) has expanded a lot since then. 

oso,the same thing happened to my girl,she had a seizure at 13 years old.

The vet ran all the tests and concluded it was most likely she had a brain tumour.

The vet put her on ephiphen which reduced the effects of the seizures.

Hope things work out for you.

There is preliminary research out there that taurine can help stave off epileptic seizures.  Don't try this as a medical regimen, but do try it as just *something* to try.  Feed your dog a food very high in taurine that he'll also tolerate like beef heart or tuna.

Like I said, it's worth a shot, but just as it might work, it might do nothing, but I don't think it would do any harm unless you feed a food your dog doesn't tolerate.  As always, take the advice of a vet, my post does not substitute nor count as medical advice.
