Epilepsy In Dogs Treatment

Hi I’m after your help for my dog’s sake! My dog has epilepsy. What can set off his fits?

My dog is six years old and a Terrier. Can anybody let me know what triggers his fits, such as flash photography sets off epilepsy in humans! By the way, the medication he is on is called Epiphen, which is the only treatment he receives apart from all the love I am able to give him!

In dogs, generally epileptic seizures occur at rest, as opposed to people, when certain stimuli have been found to trigger seizures. Because of this there is nothing really that you can do to prevent the fits occurring, or to reduce their frequency, short of giving him his medication and going for regular checkups to monitor the blood concentration of the drug.

The following site is a veterinary resource, however it has a section with some information sheets for owners:

This is an OCR edition with typos. Excerpt from book: CHAPTER III. OTHER NERVOUS DISORDERS, MORE ESPECIALLY HYSTERIA, ARE CLOSELY ALLIED TO EPILEPSY?CASES IN ILLUSTRATION. There is a large class of disorders of semi-con- vulsive type, in which an absence of power of nervous control is the chief cause. More especially among these may be mentioned hysteria, and so closely does this form of nervous disorder simulate true epilepsy, that in many cases it is difficult to determine to which class of disease they really belong. Hysteria may be said to be a form of nervous Hysteria. disorder which owes its origin purely and simply to want of controlling power. It is a disease which may be said to be to a great extent a product of civilisation, as a recent author has well expressed it, when, in speaking of hysteria, he says, "Emotions Origin of i i hysteria. or feelings, as this name implies, try to go out in action, and such actions, in primitive states of society, would generally be appropriate to the circumstances by which the emotion had been excited; thus, terror would naturally lead to flight, anger to attack, and the emotion in either case would liberate motive force, which would be consumed in the direction indicated. In modern and complicated states of society, on the other hand, the emotions can no longer be taken as sufficient guides of conduct, and man is constantly called upon to control the actions which they prompt." Now it is to this very repression of emotion, this tying down, as it were, of the safety valve, that hysteria and its kindred nervous affections are mainly due. The feelings, pent back unnaturally, at last break down the barrier of controlling power, which becomes weaker and less able to resist with each Distinction defeat. The fact that hysteria and epilepsy both between r r J hysteri…
