Epilepsy
Canine Epilepsy is a chronic condition characterized by recurrent seizures. Although seizures are always abnormal events, not all seizures in dogs are caused by canine epilepsy. Canine Epilepsy is a disorder of the brain where abnormal electrical activity triggers further uncoordinated nerve transmission. This uncoordinated and haphazard nerve tissue activity scrambles messages to the muscles of your dog's body and the coordinated use of the muscles is then inhibited.

Epilepsy is found in all breeds of dogs but is prevalent in the beagle and German shepherd.
Epilepsy can cause severe seizures and affect dogs between the ages of 2-5 years.
Prescription medications are available for dogs that have problems with seizures.
A treatment plan must be followed closely and no changes in dose or type should be made without a veterinarian's approval.

Epilepsy medications for dogs include phenobarbital and potassium bromide.
