Epilepsy is not something that can only affect humans, dogs are also prone to suffering from it with similar symptoms. That is why it is positive to be well informed about it since it is a fairly common disease in dogs, especially in males, which is caused by abnormal brain activity.
Do not panic! Luckily it is something greatly studied and we can only follow a series of measures to make that moment less hard for our animal. Keep in mind that like any pathology, it is necessary to take the animal to the vet and that the professional can establish patterns that help and support the dog.
Insist that because a dog suffers it, it does not mean that it is not healthy , at all. It is something that can be controlled and minimized. Dogs with epilepsy can have, we insist, a normal and happy life as long as their treatment is respected . So the fact that you detect it in time means being able to start treatment in its most initial phase and reduce the attacks considerably. With this, we do not want to downplay it since it is a pathology that you should observe and try to find a control to reduce the suffering of your pet.
There are several pages of social networks and forums with millions of people who show their empirical knowledge about this (with video samples, comments …) since their pets have suffered it, but, we remember, they are only comments from owners of a specific dog And, like each animal, it can suffer very different symptoms and can have very different causes. So try not to be scared if it happens, since otherwise you will make the animal more nervous and you have to try to make it as comfortable and calm at that time. And, of course, the best source of information and treatment will always be the vet.
Next, from Muy Pets we tell you everything you need to know about this hereditary disease.
