And, if you switch up better brands, fuck the naysayers about upset tummies.


They get that way from being used to the same damn food all day every day.


Switch it up in case there is a recall, your pup will be better off if your brand is unavailable

Re: Need info about dogs and seizures
OP, STOP feeding Purina.

Get off your ass and buy something BETTER. Not from a supermarket.

Is is a coincidence you didn't mention Purina and I did, and you said you were feeding it...

Get off your ass tomorrow and stop being a fucking idiot torturing your dog.

Exactly what my hubby said, howeever, Ive tried different good brands and he doesnt like it. Hibby says he'll eat it if yheres no other food.

I will change from Purina to a new brand. Im taking him to vet tomorrow and see what vet says as well and recommends for my chihuahua to eat.

you'll waste more money.
But, vets prey on the ill-educated

If your dog doesn't like it, feed the wildlife.

Start with a limited ingredient diet.

Make sure to switch up flavors in the same brand to keep you poor pooch from eating the same boring shit, day in, day out

Thank you. I will look into it and research more
As for the vet, I want to make sure these tranqulizers I gave him is not going to effect make him worse. If he can go without, by me judt taking care of him when he has a seizure and feeding him better name brand food, then I will do that.

Re: Need info about dogs and seizures
Op I agree with the other posters Beneful Purina is not good food. The vet is also I'll informed and will probably recommend more bad food as well. The way I look at it is the better food the less medical bills down the road. By the way you can also home cook for your dog. It's really easy and not hard at all. My dog has seizure activity after eating chicken as well because it's high in glutamine which can trigger seizures. Any food high in glutamine can. I would go for beef . Try Sojos beef or honest kitchen Love which is grain free, my dogs love both.

The only healthy diet for a dog is raw meaty bones

There is a book by a veterinarian Dr Lonsdale called Raw Meaty Bones

Re: Need info about dogs and seizures
feed your dog human grade food along with a high quality kibble. reduce the vaccination schedule to just rabies every 3 years, stop with the flea meds. I have farm dogs, they have never been on a flea med regime and they have never had fleas. keep things simple and natural. follow the list of stuff not to feed dogs, like onions, grapes, raisins etc....


my little dog began having seizures around every 6 months. I made some changes I felt were needed like stopped all GMO. She stopped having the seizures after around 5 or 6 episodes. Never took her to the vet for them. vets will suck you dry. use them for real emergencies.

Re: Need info about dogs and seizures
My chihuahua almost age 13 (March 24th he'll turn 13) had his first seizure. Lasted about w or 3 minutes. I took him to Banfield right afterwards, of course I was freaked out. They took blood test, check his heart and everything was fine with him. They told me watch him for next 24 hours and if he has another one, he'll need to see a nuerologist.
They also gave me a prescription for tranquilers ( 2 and it cost me $465, the office visit was another $300). They told me to buy the tranquilizers and give it to him if he has another seizure.

Now this past Monday he had another one, lasted about 3 minutes. I gave him the tranquilizer. He was distraight for a while n hot n hyper after a while them calmed down.

Now my question is this, is this common in older dogs and is ther any way I can buy medicine for him that is less expensive. I want to see a vet tomorrow and be prepared with questions about my dog.

Any advice or input? Plus, should I purchase health insurance for him now, since this med is expensive? Any info on health insurance for dogs?

I have a little chiweenie. She started having episodes. I stopped using flea shampoo and flea treatments other than one of those main brands Advantix? Anyway, if you use one of those types of flea drops, you might want to change to another, some my vet said more benign than others, and just don't use any additional stuff. I think some of these are sensitive to them. I also gave her less little sweet treats. She has a little pituitary tumor that causes Cushings. I worried about that but her episodes are gone.

I had a GSD with Grand Mal. We went with the medication which heavily sedated him. Oh, that was hard, he'd be drunk for days to start. They worked for awhile but then the seizures started building again. We didn't do a catscan but the doc thought it was a brain tumor. I always kinda wondered if he could have Lyme's because of some of the other symptoms. I had started him on thyroid medication and three months later they began. Just wondered if there was a correlation...someone with another breed had the same thing happen.

With your little dog I'd just reduce any chemical flea treatments and don't overdo the drops. Seems like it might have taken a couple months for improvements. Now none at all. I bet that's what it is. Someone else here mentioned it too.

If you live in the southwestern US (especially Arizona), check your pet for valley fever. It's a simple blood titre test. I lost a pet to valley fever who had similar symptoms.

I have been reading about diatameceous earth food grade and black cummin oil from the nigella sativa, for both humans and for dogs, you may want to look into this and see what you think. seems people are claiming great results.

Re: Need info about dogs and seizures
Feed a diet of real food, human food. It's not that hard and for a small dog it's cheap.

CHicken, beef, turkey, rice, veggies.......so simple and healthy.

1/3 meat, 1/3 veggies, 1/3 grain (rice). So simple!

Dog food is literally toxic poison. Stop with the dog food immediately.

Get some books on the subject of what's really in the dog food, you will be amazed.
