Re: How long do YOU feel strange after a seizure? I have only just found this forum, so have only just started reading all your stories and I have to say I am fascinated. I have had e for 33 years for the majority I have been controlled and haven't had a fit for ten years until last week.

I'll never forget my dog's first seizure. It was the day after Christmas and I had just come home from the hospital. When the dogs came stampeding to the kitchen door to greet me, I noticed one of them, my two-year-old male show dog, was missing from the group. Then I saw him.

I had my first seizure 2 years ago, and have had 15 seizures since then. The last seizure being March 20,2012. After a seizure I feel really sick with a pounding headache and extreme nausea. Then for the rest of the day I feel really tired.

It's unusual to see a dog have these kind of effects 3 days after having a seizure. I can think of a few possible reasons for this. When he had the seizures recently, did any of them last for more than 10 minutes? If so it's possible that he has suffered some damage to his brain.

Primary Cause. There are many reasons a dog may have convulsions, from low blood sugar levels to liver disease, poor circulation of the brain to a calcium deficiency. Brain tumors can even lead to convulsions and seizures. In dogs 8 years old or younger, epilepsy is a common cause of seizures. And though an underlying cause has yet to be identified, epileptic seizures do respond well to treatment in most cases. Small breed puppies commonly suffer from low blood sugar, which is a another cause of seizures.

Re: Overcoming Fatigue Post Seizure. I need to sleep after a seizure, I cant stay awake and will sleep long hours for at least 3 days afterwards. I hate it but I have no choice as I cant function if I dont. I then dont feel like myself for at least 5 days maybe more.

I have seen dogs get pretty zonked out by potassium bromide...but not for 3 days although it's certainly possible. I have seen dogs have brain damage after having one long seizure. I've had cases where we couldn't stop a seizure and an animal seizured for 30 minutes and then was essentially brain dead after that. But I can't say that I have seen an animal have brain damage after cluster seizures.

Your veterinarian probably doesn’t want to put your dog on seizure medication if he or she is one of those dogs who never has another seizure. A reason that I would put a dog on medication would be if they have seizures that last more than three to five minutes. Try to take a look at your watch or at the time on your phone so that you can know exactly how long it was. This is going to help your veterinarian to better treat your dog.

Advice and information for owners (and breeders) of dogs with this common problem. Unfortunately, seizures are very common in dogs. Idiopathic epilepsy, the single most common canine seizure disorder, is reported to occur in anywhere from 0.5 to 5.7 percent of all dogs.
