dog seizure causes veterinarian

Could the rimadyl have caused the first seizure? Could it be possible that having the first seizure would cause more? Maybe the rimadyl could still be in her system enough to cause second? Or is she just a late blooming epileptic?

my dog had a seizure yesterday. is it ok to give him ativan? my vet is closed till am.

t walk after the operation but the veterinarian told us that we can go home with our dog without dextrose, then after a couple of hours she died... I was so disappointed on what happened to my lovely dog! We paid around $100 for the operation. Do the veterinarian has responsible for my dog's death? or it was our fault to bring him home? Do I have the right to sue for legal action? thanks and God bless..

There is a condition which causes this and only a veterinarian can diagnose your dog. Please get your dog to the vet soon.

You might have a dog that just came from a bad breeder, or you may have a dog with epilepsy, which means it can have a fairly normal life if you give him his pills regularly from what I hear. Take him into the vet and try to calm him as much as possible. Remember- it doesn't matter what he eats right now as long as he eats something in the beginning. I hope this helped and/or you figure out what's wrong and he's ok soon!

my dog keeps gagging as if shes choking on something, shes a two year old maltese, it came on all of a sudden, im concerned, what can i do to help?

My Shi-tzu has hot skin and is constantly itching. She is fed Wellness dog food. How can I help her?

I agree with Ginger, it does sound like some type of seizure. The only thing is seizure activity USUALLY lasts only maybe 30 seconds to three or four minutes. Ten minutes seems like a long time. Your dog is in the right age bracket for genetically carried epilepsy to begin. Seizure activity is usually first seen between the second and third year, although it can occur at any point in the dog's life, most of the time seemingly out of nowhere.

It sounds as though you have had a long working relationship with your primary care veterinarian. Call your veterinarian and tell him/her of your concerns. The two of you may decide that seekin the opinion of a board certified internist will be in your pet's best interest. Your veterinarian can recommend one and provide you with a copy of your medical records. Seeking a second opinion is never incorrect. I wish you and your pet health and the best quality of life possible. Dr.

It's good to know you keep your pet up with Frontline. Hopefully it's from your veterinarian, as I've had clients bring in Frontline that was not really Frontline. There are lots of other causes of itching. As far as bare spots go, it sounds as if you should see your veterinarian. He/she should be able to help resolve those as shampoos and other over the counter meds rarely fix the causes of hair loss. It is likely he'll need antibtioics.

This would involve bloodwork to check for metabolic, endocrine and infectious causes and other blood tests such as a Lyme,or Ehrlichia check. His heart would also need an evaluation, since syncope can appear as a seizure. Other causes of seizures are abnormalities in the brain either from trauma, or a lesion in the brain.

He has been healthy for the 4 years that we have had him. My dog has had a problem with his hind legs since 10/31/2009, I took him to the vet 11/2. He had x-rays done and they came back ok. When I took him back the second time 11/5 he was unable to eat, drink and was constipated; he also had dry poop in him that the vet had taken out of him. We were told to try and give him enema and he only poops with that.

Please see your veterinarian or a veterinary dermatologist. Your dog likely needs an antibiotic. And, since typical amounts of steroid are contraindicated due to previous pancreatitis, I suspect Temaril P would be a good substitute -- about a tenth of the amount of steroid working surrealistically with a benedryl type component to get the benefits of steroids with usually no side effects. Your veterinarian needs to examine your dog in order to find the right meds for the situation.

It can sometimes take several hours, sometimes a full day, for a dog to completely return to normal after a seizure. Your vet's first reaction in doing nothing was reasonable. Sometimes seizures happen and that's the one and only seizure a dog will ever have. However, now that your dog has had a second seizure and one that lasted so terribly long, you need to go back to your vet. Your dog will likely be put on phenobarbitol as a seizure preventive.

My dog has been on primor 600mg for about 1 1/2 months to help treat her skin due to a possible food allergy. Well now she has developed mouth sores and tiny blisters in her ears. Has any one else had a problem like this before?

The vet felt that even though my dog seems fine now with no pain, the doxycyline should have reduced the size 1/2 and wants to remove it and biopsy it. The dreaded "C" word was discussed and I am beside myself with worry. Although the vet took more blood from her to test for infectious diseases, he does not think it is likely to be an infectious disease.

a dental cleaning and brushing his teeth regularly are usually very helpful. If your veterinarian has already examined your dog and has not been able to get to the root of the problem, then referral to a veterinary dermatologist may be helpful (www.acvd.org).

My roommate's cocker spaniel is about 5 or 6, and generally in good health. but for the last year, he has had sporadic episodes that occur as follows: one minute, everything is fine. the next, he starts to scream, loses bladder and sometimes bowel control, and runs almost blindly until he finds a safe spot to hide, normally under furniture. then the screaming stops, but he starts to quiver and pant heavily for at least half an hour.
