    Dog seizures in dogs are called temporary disturbances and a lack of activity in the brain. Dog fainting is often accompanied by loose muscle contraction that can be dangerous for dogs because it leads to reduced vision and uncontrolled blood loss. Typically, fainting occurs when brain activity shifts from one activity to another such as play, relaxation, eating, etc. Epilepsy is a common occurrence that can be predictable or unexpected in nature. Epileptic seizures may occur in one episode or group (multiple trauma in a row).

We treat epilepsy

    It should be borne in mind that in the case of epilepsy, the treatment of dogs is not the same as in humans. Drugs given to humans have toxic effects on animals, it is dangerous to give them to an animal. First you need to contact a professional immediately. Only a veterinarian can accurately determine the presence of a disease such as epilepsy in dogs (symptoms and treatment which we describe in detail in our review). After testing the animal, you will be given the necessary anticonvulsant medications.
