Is it usual to have more than one seizure ? Can they give anything to prevent another episode, or just treat it afterwards?
Some dogs have just one seizure and others have repeated ones. The first time Snoopy had seizures was last summer - the first one was about 9:00 again and he had about 3 more during the night. The vet said that some dogs have one every few months and if you can deal with them they don't give the dog anything. However, when they have a cluster of them, like Snoopy it is more likely to happen at closer intervals and they can get longer in length which is very hard on the dog's system. Snoopy has been taking phenobarbitol ever since twice a day - that is suppose to prevent them. However, he may need a higher dose now and they can find that out by a blood test which is what will happen today.

They give dogs valium to keep them from having more once they start having them. A vet can actually give them a shot which will sometimes stop a long seizure. They have given me a prescription now so once he has one I can give him the valium to keep more from happening.

They really don't know what causes seizures in dogs. They can just try to keep them from having them primarily with phenibarbitol.

Snoopy has not had another seizure since the 4 am one yesterday morning. He goes to the vet this afternoon to have the blood test to check his phenobarbitol level.
