Bulldog with seizures

Mon, 05/08/2006 - 04:25
Hi, I'm new to this but I have a Bulldog that has had 6 seizures within 8 mos.. It is definately grand mall seizures, expelling body fluids and very disoriented afterwards. The vet just put her on a low dose of phenobarbital. It scares me to death everytime she has one because they are not regular, usually at night time when everyone is asleep. She sleeps in my bed so I know when she has one because she falls off the bed. She is getting spayed in June. I had shown her in AKC confirmation and has had 2 litters of pups. Does anyone know where I can get more info on this. Is it hereditary? I read around 2-3 yrs. old is when epiepsy is seen if dogs are to get it. Is this true? Has anyone had the same problem or seen anything like this? Thank you

Years ago my first cat developed epilepsy when she was probably about 3 yrs old or so.  She would start licking her tail, then biting her tail, then urinate all over the place and run away.  I was so stunned when the vet told me she was having seizures!  At that time I was in my early 20's.  (20 yrs later, I get diagnosed with epilepsy - ironic!)  I remember the vet had given me some sort of pills to give her.  Once I got her on the meds, she was just fine!  Apart from my cat, I had never heard of animals having epilepsy.  I wonder how common that is.

Is the phenobarbital working, do you see any improvement?
