First (observed) episodes occurred when she was four and a half years old and they were very severe in nature. When she grew older and after she had been gradually taken off the medication she had been on for many years, she only had very mild, infrequent episodes. She died at the end of 2004 after a longer period of gradual kidney failure. Triggers: treats containing beef and all kinds of 'stress'.
This is one of a series of videos showing examples of Border Terriers during episodes of Canine Epileptoid Cramping Syndrome (CECS). If you suspect your dog shows these symptoms, it might be helpful for your vet to view the videos.
