Dog Seizuring: Emergency Steps

If your dog starts to have an epileptic seizure, you should follow these steps to protect your pet

My last dog that passed away started having seizures a few months before she died. I can't put into words how scary that was for me.
She lived to be 14 1/2 had her since she was 11 weeks. I don't think the sadness will ever go away 😥🐶💔

I’m a dog groomer and have seen several seizures while grooming, it’s the most helpless feeling. If you have a seizure prone dog, consider mobile service for grooming or having the dog groomed at a vets office. Let the groomer know the situation and how the dog’s symptoms or triggers begin. Some dogs get worse from full moons, high temperatures, thunder, separation anxiety, loud noises (like a dryer) or riding in cars.

I have a dog that use to have seizures. I learned somewhere to put an ice pack on the spine & keep calm & talk to them. So I kept a gel pack in my freezer. He experienced a pretty bad seizure one day, I applied the ice pack & he quickly relaxed, still shaking, but more coherent, then I gave him CBD oil after the episode .
I started giving him coconut oil in his food, he’s small, so I started with 1/4 tsp once a day. It’s suppose to help with dementia also (healthy fat for the brain). It’s been about 4 years now that he’s been seizure free👍.
I love your videos Dr. Jones!! You’ve helped me look into natural cures for all of our fur babies conditions😘

My 14 year old Maltese had a seizure a few nights ago, rushed her to the ER all to sit and wait for a Dr. almost 1 1/2 hours. There was no Dr. at the ER. Thankfully she is still with us. Love your channel and thank you for all this information.

My 13 year old large girl has seizures at night- took me a while to realize they weren’t just dreams. Short lasting thankfully. I coincidentally have a daughter with epilepsy. CBD really helps both of them. 💚
Thank you for saying do not try to grab their tongue- people with epilepsy do not swallow their tongues...now I know the same is true for my dog ♥️

My dog (the one in my pfp) had a seizure today not too long ago. She’s about 9 years old and she’s a toy poodle. She’s a small dog. Whenever the seizure happened, I for sure thought that she would die and that all hope was lost. But thankfully, she ended up being ok and the seizure ended quickly. If this ever happens to your dog, stay calm and do what this guy does. Applying the cold cloth on your dog really helps. If the seizure lasts 5 minutes or longer, take them to the vet right away! But don’t worry, your dog will most likely be ok. Stay safe guys!

Love how the dog in the example is so obedient and listens to him perfectly

[kelleytaylor]

Thanks. I did not know about the cold cloth so helpful

Lasted 5 minutes all together and it was her first time so I started crying asking my dog what's the matter omg thank God she hasn't had one anymore

My dog had too many seizures. It last over 6 mins. I did everything I could. It costs me over 6, 000 dollars. Finally we had to put him to sleep. I was very depressed for over 1 month. So i wrote a poem and put together a book of history. His name was Dutch.

Thank you, I have found this extremely helpful. My Flynn is a 13 year old
Border Collie x Kelpie and he had his first seizure a month ago but I thought he was choking, we were panicking and doing all the wrong things. He had another one yesterday and pretty much the same reaction but I did hold him this time, we took him to the vet and they suspect epilepsy so we are awaiting other results to confirm. I now am in the process of baby proofing my house and yard and educating myself.

This happened to my middle dog and I failed step one. I was hysterical calling for my family members to come. Happened about 2 am in the morning. Thank God it only lasted about 30 sec, although it seemed like an eternity.

My grandmas dog, I lived with my grandma at the time while our house was being built and I was playing in the computer room at the computer and I was only 8. It was only me and my brother that was home that day and my grandmas dog (Sophie) was sitting behind my hair. I heard her kind of like making little noises and so I turned around and she was shaking really bad. I immediately tried helping her then I took her to my brother. We got her to stop but we were completely clueless to was it was cause we were both young. We told our parents and grandparents what happened when they came home and they took her to the vet and she has to take seizure medication daily. It would’ve been super helpful to know this information when I was a kid

Sally had two seats yesterday. She only usually has one. I have her on phenobarbital. I’m keeping her safe I’m open for any suggestion. I have changed to food cause she had a rash and I gave her some Benadryl. She’s safe right now. I hope she’s OK.

Great Video doc... also what i noticed with my personal experiences with large breed dogs... if possible you position your knee or feet to stop the legs from travelling .. the dog while seizured seems to attempt to right itself. or travel forwards .. allowing their paws to anchor against you feet does allow for the dog to be more calm as it regains it senses.. also when the dog comes around it is similar to epileptic persons, they are a bit confused and want to walk it off as if nothing happened..

My dog just got home happy as ever❤🎉😊😅
