If you own an American Eskimo or other breed of canine then you may want to talk with your vet about canine epilepsy and how it could affect your dog. Not all dogs that have seizures have epilepsy; however, it’s important to have your vet examine the dog to be sure. Epilepsy can cause animals to have sudden, uncontrollable seizures. These seizures are most often recurring and may or may not cause the animal to pass out. If your American Eskimo is suffering from seizures, contact your vet immediately. Some experts believe seizures are an “uncoordinated firing of neurons” within the cerebrum portion of the brain. The reasons for this are unknown; however, it is thought that, like humans, the neurotransmitters are not in a “proper chemical balance” so the activity is not coordinated as it should be. Talk with your vet clinic Southside, IN for additional information.
