Barney's Had Another Seizure!

[debrand]

Just about a month ago Barney had a seizure during which he bit my 16 year old son. We really hoped it was a one-off and he got back to normal very quickly afterwards. Today he was lying at my feet when I was having lunch, when he had another seizure. I can understand why he bit my son because for about ten minutes after the sizure ended he was absolutely terrified. He was very shaky and dazed and it was obvious he didn't even recognise me (and every chance he gets he is glued to me). I am taking him to the vet tomorrow to see what she says. I am devasted. I know it can be controlled by medication if it happens regularly but he is just the sweetest little dog you could have and I couldn't bear anything to happen to him- he's only 10 months.

O poor thing

It clearly wasn't his fault. He was ill. I hope he's better soon. I am sure the vet will be able to help sort this out. I have little experience but I know it may take a little time sorting out what caused the fit and if medication is required exactly what levels are required. Once controlled he should be able to lead a normal life in all other respects.


Sorry you 're having to go through this

Thank you. I had a look at the Uk site and it is excellent. It made me feel better to know that Barney is not actually suffering during the seizure. It looks so awful and you can do nothing to help him but it will help myself and my family remain calm knowing that he is not in pain. Barney's two seizures have both happened when he was lying resting which it seems is quite normal too, in fact everything that he went through was exactly how they describe it on the site. We will go see the vet tonight and will do whatever needs done to help Barney but this site has certainly made me realise that we can cope with whatever happens and give him lots of love and attention along the way!
