Canine Epilepsy
Jono | September 12, 2008Last Friday night, I could hear a noise, I went out to see what my beagle was up to, to find that he was convulsing. He was foaming at the mouth, and was unconcious. Luckily, I used to work with people with intellectual disabilities, and seen many epileptic seizures. I held him for the remaining minute that he convulsed, and then sat there petting him as he lay stil for a further two minutes before coming round. My very confused and frightened beagle then ran into my room, and barked for about 20 minutes, he would not let anyone near him, warning us with barks and growls. We left him in there with the door open until he decided to approach us. The after hours vet told me that it may be a one-off, but the vet I took him to the next day said he may have juvenile epilepsy. Does anyone else reading this have a pet with epilepsy? Please tell me your experiences.
