I have a 3yr old peekapoo. His name is Solomon. I have witnessed him have 2 seizures in the last 6mos. The vet says these little ones are prone to these attacks , but I would like more information concerning this condition. Can anyone point me to a website that will help to get guidance. IP: Logged |

My toy poodle also has seizures. He is 7yrs old and has only lived with me for a year. In his previous home he had seizures quite frequently but has only had 2 living with me in the past year. I was discussing this with my vet today and she said that they usually progress as the dog ages and that my dog is okay for now but if he has 4 or more per year she would recommend putting him on Phenobarb (sp?).

P.S. In my situation, stress seems to bring on the seizures. His previous enviroment was very stressful compared to his current one which is why I think he is not seizing as much. My vet gave me a wonderful explanation on seizures today...I don't think I could explain it as well as she did but maybe your vet can give your more info. as well. Good luck. IP: Logged |

I have seen my poodle have a couple in the past. THe last one was brought on by her being so stressed out from a bout with kennel cough. This was just one night of constant hacking and ended in seizure. I zipped her to the vet asap. I have and I am not sure why, but cat food is supposed to be kept away from dogs that have seizures. I mean all dogs really but it does somethign to them. IP: Logged |
