Seizure in beagles
Common Questions and Answers about Seizure in beagles
seizure
my beagles stomach is churning and growling while she is sleeping. she ate 1/2 hour ago. can she have tums or pepcid?
If you had no withdrawal then count yourself lucky. The tiredness will go away in a few days. Were you taking them from a doctor (prescribed) or recreational? Do you have pain?
He said not much could be done, might outgrow them and gave us some vitamines as a supplement for her diet (oh she was also the runt in the litter and is not inbred). So in May she had a very very mild one and then in the last three weeks two more...
What happens next? Waht can we do? Do they get worse? WE feel sooo helpless and heart broken watching her...
s pain persists, I would be concerned about other causes for pain such as a bulging disc in the back or neck (common in beagles), or inflammation in the spinal cord or abdomen. If screening xrays and labwork are not informative, then more in depth diagnostics or referral to an veterinary internal medicine or neurologic specialist would be the next steps.
Hi,
I would use the search box on this forum in upper right side and type in "allergies", many past posts on allergy's...my beagle has severe allergies also, and there is much useful info in those past posts for them. or you could just click on my name and look thru my past posts on allergies.
Also, with the eating/ gaining weight.....beagles are prone to thyroid problems, easily taken care of w/ meds but must have blood test for it. I would have vet do so.
One would suspect a seizure disorder and Beagles can be prone to epilepsy but looks like your Vets have ruled that out. It could be a tumor or some neurological problem but further testing would have to be done, probably a CT or MRI. What concerns me is the recent aggressive behavior. I assume full blood work has been done including thyroid testing. Wish I could be of more help.
Would be curious as to how much help your breeder was.
This led me to reflect that I got bitten on the side of my abdomen, and that I have always had truly horrific gut symptoms, far worse than the average lyme patient (I know this pretty certainly from comparing myself to all the other patients in the Lyme clinic where I stayed in Germany, and also because the doc there said pretty much the same. I guess most people have their midriff covered up and getting a bite there is rare.
At 13, your beagle is an older girl. Beagles can have specific and predisposed illnesses in later years, but not all beagles get these conditions. Your vet should certainly examine for hypothyroidism, spinal problems and - very definitely - idiopathic epilepsy. This should not be left untreated, as it could shorten her life substantially. Once diagnosed properly and a sound treatment plan is started, she should continue to enjoy a normal life.
My 11 year old son suffered a local seizure in left leg followed by a general seizure in 3 hrs. he was suffering frm high fever and was on malaria drug along with doxycycline. his reports like MRI, veinography, CFS, EEG AND OTHER BLOOD TESTS R NORMAL.what could be the reason of seizure? will it repeat. what r the precautions to be taken.
Last year after marriage the frequency increased. Thrice in 3 months. We went to a different doc. He said that he had primary generalized seizure or a right right frontal focus with hemispheric bisynchrony. He also said that carbamazepine is not right medication for it so slowly changed it to kepra. My husband dint have seizures for 5 months. After carbamazepine was completely stopped and he was completely on kepra , he got seizure. He takes 3700 MG ok kepra per day.
ll whatever it is I feel like I want, cereal, fruit, beagles, eggs, leftovers (like this morning I had left over chicken tacos and rice from.last night). Anyway it seems after I eat breakfast I have no desire to eat. I'm 30 weeks and 3 days today. Sometimes I might eat a snack but even if I don't I forget to eat lunch and if I lived alone and my husband didn't come home and cook dinner every night I'd forget to eat dinner too.
Then in the early evening, he had a major seizure. This time, he had three of them in a row, and afterward, was back to lethargic. As money is tight because of Christmas, we had no money to take him to the vet until today. He has been lethargic ever since Saturday morning, will only eat beef and rice that I make him and not much of it, he's drinking some water and using the bathroom outside like normal, but all he wants to do all day is sleep. It's very sad. Sooo not himself!
The vet said she had an epileptic seizure and gave her some Valium for me to give her if she has another seizure. All has been well until tonight(10-13-08). I was reading on the net that dogs do not have epilepsy, it is strictly a human condition. I want to believe my vet but.... Will you please explain to me what causes seizures in dogs and what I can di to prevent it?
Not knowing a seizure happened is very normal. You should probably get him an EEG that would give you the most information. Just understand that we don't know a lot about the brain, so knowing why someone has a seizure isn't something that can be answered. Do not take what I'm saying in place of what a doctor will tell you. I want to stress that I'm not a doctor.
Our youngest daughter, who will be 8 in March, had a seizure induced by a fever in early November. The seizure lasted about a minute or less and she was convulsing and lost consciousness. I was shocked and scared because she had not had a febrile seizure since shortly before her third birthday. The only other seizure she had was at 15 months, and again, was a febrile seizure.
