Seizures in pets
However, if you do have one, or if you will in the future, this article will help you understand what causes seizures, what you can do when your pet has seizures, and strategies how with available treatment options.
These include chemical toxins (containing preservatives used in many pet foods), brain tumours, canine leukaemia, canine disease, peritonitis, canine AIDS, head trauma, and liver and kidney problems.
In dogs, there are many causes of seizures besides inherited epilepsy.
Watching your precious dog or cat with seizures can be very scary. During confinement, pets often lose control, fall over, bite their teeth, scratch or bleed, faint, kick their legs, and begin to hurt themselves or become unresponsive. Their eyes become enlarged (dilated) and they lose their hearing. The pet sitter feels horrified and helpless watching it all.
