A typical epileptic fit for a dog

Tyypillinen rajunnäköinen epilepsiakohtaus koiralla. Kuvasta ei näy lattialle ilmestyvää pissalammikkoa. Tällä kertaa Emma-koira puri myös kieleensä reiän, vaikka sen pitäisi olla harvinaista. Kohtauksen mentyä ohi omistaja laittaa koiralle Diapam-peräruiskeita, jotka rauhoittavat koiraa ja estävät kohtauksen uusiutumisen. Kohtauksen jälkitila ilmenee Emmalla 0,5-1 h kestävänä tauottomana vaeltamisena huoneesta toiseen.

My dog had excellent treatment,thanks to the experienced vet.Above all,Emma had wonderful life in secure but stimulating environment,and she was a happy dog.She didn’t suffer from seizures(vet told that they don’t cause pain),but she had sometimes that “absent-looking”.I hope that as many as possible can watch this (or other) video about epilepsy to increase the knowledge about epilepsy. I gave this video also to the vet clinic, where they can use it for young vets, for excample.

Totally 15 seizures, few of them in my car while driving to clinic, where vet put her to sleep.Then we were just waiting,hoping that fits wouldn’t start again.Emma’s condition was eventually diagnosed as status epilepticus.That is very severe condition, and mortality is high.So, that's what happened to her.After being kept in narcosis for 24 hrs,seizures didn’t stop and I had to do very heavy decision.It was so sad, but I was there all the way until the last breath, Emma resting in my arms.

prevent other seizures. Some of you may know that Phenobarbital is quite strong stuff and can cause damage in liver, for example. So, we went to clinic every second month to test the dose of Phenobarbital in her blood and to test if her liver is ok. Despite of medications with different doses, Emma kept having seizures about once in 2-4 weeks. The video has recorded in August 2009. Then, in September 3th, Emma got a seizure, and despite the tranquilizer, she got another, and another, and another

Thank you all for your positive and comforting comments. My dear dog Emma is not here anymore…I had to ask the vet to put her down in last September. Here is a story of the last year of my faithful dog.

Emma started to have seizures in December 2008. First thing to do was careful examinations by vet, and when diagnosis was epilepsy, probably caused by tumour in her brain, we started medication with cortisone and Phenobarbital. Vet gave me also tranquilizers, and told me to give that to Emma to

i'm sorry for your ignorancy, hamey1. While a fit, you just cant do anything. After a fit i gave her tranquilizers per rectum, as you can see in the video. i hope you´ll find some information of epilepsy before making any comments.
