STYLETHREAD -- LET'S TALK SHOP!

My dog has seizures.  They are really scary the first time it happened I thought he was choking and was going to die.  I completely flipped out.  It is common that dogs have a couple seziures in their lifetime.  For the first two years my dog only had one once every few months and the vet did not put him on medication because it causes liver damage.  Once the seizures become more frequent (once a month) we put him on medication because seizures cause brain damage.  The vet was great and worked with us to put him on the lowest dose possible so he wouldn't be dopey and he is fine.  I would recommend you tell your vet about it because sometimes there can be another cause, i.e. something he ate, medicines, etc. 

Seizures can be so scary I am sorry your dog had one.  I find that eventhough he is completely out of it I pick up my dog and pet him and talk to him while he is having one, so maybe he knows someone is there.
