neena89 Posted June 12 Share Posted June 12 Hello guys! I’m hoping to get some advice and support regarding my female pitbull who has been having epilepsy attacks for about a year now. It’s been really tough seeing her go through this, and lately, she seems very down and sad. I’ve tried various things, but nothing seems to be working . We’ve been to the vet multiple times and she’s on medication, but the seizures still happen and her mood has been getting worse. I’ve done some research and tried changing her diet and adding supplements, but I haven’t seen much improvement. It breaks my heart to see her like this, and I feel so helpless. I also check this : help! Dog Had A Seizgenaiure Just Now! But I have need more information about this. Has anyone here dealt with a similar situation with their pets? I’m looking for any tips or suggestions on how to manage her condition better and improve her mood. How do you keep your pets happy and comfortable during tough times like these? Are there any specific treatments or therapies that worked for you? Thank you in advance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dogsfevr Posted June 14 Share Posted June 14 All dogs will be different like people . Has her Thyroid levels been checked as that can cause seizure issues . The other obvious is the seizures may be a result of something more in the brain especially if things are changing 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sandgrubber Posted June 14 Share Posted June 14 (edited) I've dealt with epilepsy a few times, both as a dog owner and caring for dogs in a boarding kennel. All I can say is it's highly variable. I've seen dogs get better or lead a normal, but medicated, life, and I've seen dogs get worse and go down. I presume the vet did various tests and nothing conclusive showed up, so it became idiopathic epilepsy. Mood change doesn't sound good. You can try specialists and go for further testing, eg, to rule out brain tumors... expensive and not highly likely, but possible. Stabbing with miracle cures from the internet probably won't work. Different meds with careful monitoring may be your best hope. Edited June 14 by sandgrubber Typo 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
