my dog had four seizures today and this is never happened every 30 minutes. She usually NEVER has a seizures and right now. We are really tight on money so we can’t really pay for the vet. Do you have any recommendations? She keeps on throwing up and then she keeps on running into stuff me and my family think she’s blind and this is never ever happened before so I really don’t know what to do and I’ve already lost a dog from heart failure so I don’t really want it to happen again and it’s really heartbreaking. so if you got any recommendations to help her stop having a seizure every single 30 minutesit would be grateful to have a good day.

I found my dog having seizures over a few days. During a blood test we found his red blood cell count low. abit of research found he was bleeding from his spleen. Our vets didnt seem to be aware of anemia induced seizures. We got his bleed fixed and his red count back to normal. He hasnt seized since. Have you seen this before ?

Our dog started having daily seizures as of yesterday with the 3 he had, but today he only had 1 and less than 30 seconds at that. We live several cities away from the nearest vet so if he lives long enough I plan to have his bad teeth extracted tomorrow if I can (which I believe are the root of the cause). After that, if that doesn’t fix it, I plan to take him to get a vet’s opinion on what sort of medications might help him and what to do next.

This sort of stuff is out of the blue and so unexpected and it happened for me family in particular at a time when we have hardly a penny to our name.
