seizure prevention

That's a tough one. I would hesitate using a lot of the products too if the dog has a seizure disorder. I don't know about the ingredients in Frontline affecting seizures but I think I would have to trust my Vet. If not, you have to make sure your environment is as clean as possible to get rid of the fleas. You might try the Skin So Soft by Avon. Many people have had luck with that as a flea deterrent.

I have an idopathic seizure disorder for 35 years without seizure for 28 years. I have never had an abnormal EEG, CAT, CT, MRI or PET of the Brain. I was on Dilantin for over 30 years and transitioned to Lamictal 4 months ago however developed rash and had to be dc'd. I have been on small dose of Klonopin and Paxil 37.

Took my ten month old puppy (mixed breed poodle, chihuahua, yorkie, pitbull) to the vet for a pre-op checkup and bloodwork before spaying surgery. Dr said she’s really healthy and her blood work was normal and she didn’t have heart worms. Dr gave me two chewables by Nexgard and Heartgard for heart worm, flea & tick prevention. She told me to wait a day to give them to her at the same time. I did it the next day. Puppy had a seizure a few hours later.

The day after she got the shot, she had a seizure. We took her to the ER. She had numerous blood tests done and a CAT scan which all turned out to be completely normal. Her blood sugar, when the paramedics arrived, was 81. The ER doctor told us he thought the seizure was due to a drop in blood sugar. She sees an endocrinologist for her diabetes, and that doctor said we should take her to a pediatrician to have her checked.

Lat year (2006) I was diagnosed with a seizure. I am a Type 1 diabetic. I'm 36 now. However I could not wake up in the morning last year. So the ambulance was called and when they checked my blood sugar, it was OK, not high or low. This was classified as a seizure and I did'nt wake up in the hopital for about 3 weeks. Is this classified as a seizure. It did affect my memory and was put on seizure medication for 6 months. In you're opinion was this a seizure?

My mom experienced hair loss while undergoing treatments. I have experienced hair loss for stress, medications for migraines (seizure meds for prevention will do it every time). Also my doctor put me on a great prenatal vitamin that helped with my hair loss and I started to have new growth. Soak with your doctor and see what he recommends. Could be a simple imbalance due to stress in itself or the cancer side effects.

Anyone take generic Topamax for migraine prevention? Please share your review if you do. I'm about to start it but am apprehensive as all I've read in researching is it's got a high side affect profile.

Hi, Abruptly stopping Topamax or Topiramate may lead to withdrawal side effects such as confusion, loss of hearing or sight, fear, panic, convulsions, difficulty talking, falling down, seizure and other associated symptoms like eye rolling or fluttering, foot stomping, lip smacking, grunting or making sounds, shaking, stiffening, sweating, tremors, and twitching.

One of the fist things that worry me is the seizures. Have you seen a doctor for this as of yet? Were you put on any type of seizure prevention medication? Seizures can be very dangerous as you can have a bad fall, choke on fluids such as saliva or vomit during the seizure, and even stop breathing. If you have not addressed that yet, than you need to do that as soon as possible. I had my first seizure after having stopped taking pain medication cold turkey, two weeks in.

Thank you ! I saw my Dr yesterday to discuss . I'm 59 and recently had a 'bad seizure' in Church which led to tests . My Dr said they were small strokes in my brain . He also said I could have early onset of Dementia . I like your answer better ! More tests will be done because after the episode that put me in the hospital I haven't been the same .

HOOK in the public HIV Prevention forum of MedHelp, TEAK and the other moderators maintain that oral sex in all forms is a zero risk activity. Would you agree with this assessment? I TOTALLY AGREE / DR GARCIA The observation on thousand and thousand of observations is that HIV is not spread by oral sex (of any sort). DR.

She is currently on seizure medication and has not had one for last 2 years. I am giving her sporlac tablet (would not swallow liquid easily) 4 times a day and twice a day enteroquinol. She is doing still the same. Norflox was suggested but I have deferred it till now as I think enteroquinol covers amoebicidal and antibacterial areas both. Please advise.

After the lauging gas and in the process of receiving 2.0cc of 2% lidocaine(she weighs approx. 45 pounds), she had an immediate seizure. According to the dental notes, her oxygen saturation were never under 97% and she took approx. 1 1/2 hours to become coherent. She essentially slept through the ER visit (2 hours). The ER doctor said that the seizure was caused by the lidocaine(no MRI or CAT) and she has had no discernable after effects.

my parents had been to the vet and when I got home I sat with him while he suffered 4 more seizures I decided that I could not see him suffer and we went to vet and tio got the jag to sleep as u can imagine has been upsetting. my question is I found out when he took the first seizure When I was home with himhe struggled to do a poo outside and it looked strange.

I don't think people who have a seizure remember the seizure, but he definitely had something. Maybe it's a thyroid problem. He needs to be seen, but an ER is the slowest, most expensive and least efficient way to do it.

It does still fit the description of a seizure. Not all seizures involve paddling, slobbering and loss of bladder control. Those are basically what are considered to be grand mal seizures. Petite mal seizures can be anything from a twitching of the head to a state of catatonia for a brief time, which sounds more or less like what your girl had. Please let us know what the vet says when you do get to take her in. Good luck to you!
