Dog / Mix - Answered 1437 days ago
I've never seen it myself, but my family tells me that our dog has been having convulsions several times. We had a CT scan taken at a vet but didn't find any problems. They prescribed us a rectal medicine for when the convulsions occur. What do you think could be the cause? Also, the convulsions never happen when I'm around, but do you think there are any reasons behind this?

Hi Charlotte, Firstly,the fact that the convulsions do not take place when you're not around could just be a mere coincidence,that has no implication on the dogs health. And for convulsions,there are many reasons a dog may have convulsions, it could result from low blood sugar levels and liver disease or poor circulation of the brain and mineral deficiency. But it's important to note the following; 1. How long the convulsions take 2. How frequent does it occur,I mean you should note if there is a sequence at all. 3. What are the symptoms that you may notice prior to the convulsions 4. How exactly the convulsions happen,I mean you should watch the pet during the convulsion,or perhaps take a video, might be your relatives too though. These are all to help your vet reach a conclusion on what exactly is wrong with your pet, and to also know how to go about the treatment!
