The detail information of Epilepsy
Basic Information

Disease Description: A disease characterized by convulsions (seizures) and/or disturbances of consciousness.

Inherit Mode: -

Disease Symptom: There are many different types of seizures in dogs. The most common is the generalized major motor seizure, characterized by paddling of the limbs.The dog may cry, bark or whine during the seizure, and it may snap or bite, not quite fully aware of its surroundings.Urination and defecation are common during a generalized seizure. Post seizural signs may last from a few minutes to an hour. A brief seizure, called the 'absence seizure', may last for only seconds, during which the dog may just seem to be staring into space.

Disease Cause: -

Disease Diagnose: Diagnosing epilepsy in dogs is difficult. It begins by attempting to rule out other causes for the seizures. Some cases of epileptic seizures have a specific structural cause. The age of onset, breed, weight, historical findings, and neurological exam findings are important in estimating the likelihood that there is a structural problem and therefore a specific treatment and prognosis.

Treat Method: Immediately after a seizure, the dog should be handled with caution. The dog likely will pant after a seizure, due to heat generated by the intense brain activity and seizure. Cool, wet compresses place at the base of the skull and in the groin area will help decrease the body temperature. The dog should be offered a drink of water, but should not be left unattended with a water bowl.
