You need to consult a physician for investigating any underlying infectious condition, high or low blood sugar, injury, electrolyte imbalance, drug withdrawal syndrome etc.

Can you describe some more details regarding the seizure activity to know better? Sleep deprivation can be one of the triggers for seizure activity. It need not always happen at night. You may consult a neurologist for complete check up and investigations including a sleep study. Take care and share your thoughts.
It sounds like a possible seizure. They can manifest in many different ways and it's not uncommon to see that head tilting behavior. It's also typical to that they need to sleep quite a while after having a seizure.
Since he's had two episodes that you know of, it's definitely time to see your vet. Try not to panic. I know seeing a seizure of any kind is extremely scary, but epilepsy in dogs can usually be well-managed with medications.
He was placed on Keppra 500mg orally twice a day for seizure precautions due to the fall. He has been on the medication for approximately three weeks. He is tired, blah, and feels short of breath. I know it will take time to heal but do you know how long he should have to be on the medication and/or how long he will feel this way? I'm not sure how much activity to encourage. If you have any information or advice to ask the neurologist, I would greatly appreciate it!!
It would depend on the cause of the seizures. Also some medications can lower the seizure threshold including many antipsychotics but only a doctor or psychiatrist would understand this in full. It would be worthwhile to discuss these concerns with them and what the appropriate means of follow up would be.

This sounds like it could be a type of migraine but could also be seizure related. I would see a neurologist again. Have an EEG done to check for seizure activity and an MRI done to check for things like MS. If those two tests are normal, it is probably migraine related.
Hello!
I've had deja vu seizures (auras) for about ten years now. I never had them until after I got off the awful Depo shot. I then 't have any while I was pregnant with my daughter, but they started up again after I had her. They seem to be related to my cycle. I was basically just really hoping to hear success stories about people who have dealt with seizures caused by birth control and are now seizure-free. PLEASE don't tell me any horror stories.
If it is confirmed that your events are due to seizures, you would need to be started on seizure medications (anti-epileptic drugs). It is important to assume seizure precautions as well, such as not driving or being in situations in which you could injure yourself or others if you had a seizure, such as standing on a height or swimming unsupervised.
Thank you for using the forum, I hope you find this information useful, good luck.
my 5 year old boy is taking topomax 5 mg since last 2 and a half years as a treatment for seizure ,his body temperature is most of the time found to be above normal....
For the last few weeks I have been having some abnormal muscle spasms or ticks, tingling that runs from the top of my arms to my finger tips but I have no physical movement? Could this be a seizure? Is this something that I should be concerned with or just blame on stress??? Please help as I would like to avoid a costly Dr w/no medical insurance.
The change in air pressure after an injury like you have can lead to a seizure, no thanks, right? Has it only been two weeks? I do think those with head injuries need to take special precautions but not indefinitely. Does he totally evade the question as to when you'll be okay for air travel? And again, I'd look into other means of transportation.
I am having my first-ever root canal tomorrow, and I'm terrified. Will the procedure hurt? I've never been a fan of shots, but several years ago when having my wisdom teeth removed I went into a seizure as the oral surgeon injected the anesthetic, so I'm really nervous, and I keep hearing horror stories about people accidentally getting painful shots directly into the nerve, and how the procedure itself is extremely painful. I am not currently in any pain.

If they arent too many side affects, then stay on it. I have JME, and I take Keppra. I've been on Keppra for almost 5 years now. Started at 23, and I'm 28 now. I had one grand mal seizure and that was the worst month of my life. Not knowing your parents, you can move, and the headaches... if he's seizure free, keep the meds! Nothing is worse than having a seizure. And you cant drive after that. I say stay on it. Keppra has done very well for me...

It is difficult to comment beyond this at this stage. Please consult your epilepsy specialist regarding this. Please let me know if there is any thing else and do keep me posted. Take care!
Sounds more like a minor seizure to me. They should see a neurologist first before any other doctor.
Under certain circumstances this can precipitate an actual epileptic seizure. Or a medical condition somewhat short of a complete seizure. The same thing can happen from the flickering of sun through an aircraft propeller blade. Certain animations and CRT configurations exacerbate this phenomena. The "flicker" affects the brain. How exactly a seizure is induce is not clear. This medical problem has been well-documented and researched.
