Hi there! I'm sorry to hear your dog is having seizures. It sounds like you’re doing your best to take care of them, which is great. While epilepsy in dogs is a neurological disorder causing recurrent seizures, it's good to know that you’re exploring ways to help manage it.
Seizures can happen for many reasons, including genetics, brain abnormalities, or even environmental triggers. Some dogs can also experience idiopathic epilepsy, where no obvious cause is identified.
While natural remedies can't replace professional medical treatment, some owners have found certain practices and supplements helpful in supporting overall health. Ensuring your dog has a calm, stress-free environment, with regular exercise and a balanced diet, can be beneficial. Some pet owners explore options like omega-3 fatty acids or CBD oil, but it’s crucial to discuss these with a vet first, as their effectiveness and safety can vary.
Watch for any increase in seizure frequency, duration over 2-3 minutes, or clustering of seizures, as these can indicate the need for immediate veterinary care.
It might be a good idea to book a video consult with Dial A Vet. We can discuss your dog’s specific situation, possibly adjust their treatment plan, and explore both natural and medical options to better manage their epilepsy. Your dog’s health is important, and we're here to support you both!
