Did you know that epilepsy is a brain disorder that is often associated with people, but can also occur in animals like Yellow Labradors? 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 Yellow Labrador 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. Dogs suffering from epilepsy will have periodic occurrences of the uncoordinated neuron firings, which are known as seizures, convulsions, or even fits. An examination by your veterinary clinic Colorado Springs, CO may be needed to determine causes of the seizures and possible treatment options. See details here.
