The best thing I can say is keep a record of what might be the cause of the seizure, it is very difficult to figure out and sometimes you won't ever know the cause, however i do believe diet helps. ABsolutely no preservatives, I'm not even sure mixed tocopherols as a preservative is ok, definitely not BHA BHT, but best to cook for your dog if you can. It is easy - everything however should be organic. You can both eat same thing. Avoid rosemary - there are so many things to avoid it is best to cook a stew of chicken barley green beans green peas carrots celery zucchini sweet potato and barley - add a little garlic. put all in pot and boil then simmer for two hours and mush it all together ( debone the chicken of course first ) you can freeze some. Ice packs might work. Feeding ice cream might work ( if caused by low blood sugar). I'm best to avoid any harsh drugs but one never knows what is best for each situation. Try to extend time between seizures and avoid drugs if you can in the case of non-multiple seizures, and those lasting under a minute. Low music, being calm during a seizure I think all helps. Use all organic products at home, to clean and bedding. I know it can be a little nuts but it is worth it for a best friend. REad and research all that you can, knowledge is power. But if you keep a diary it could help you. Seizures happen more often at a full moon. Last night was a full month and Beca had a seizure, she had been seizure free for 3 weeks. Also, put pillows around where she sleeps, and protect your dog from stairs etc.. You do not want your dog to hurt herself during a seizure. My dog has been having seizures since November 2008.

Phenobarbatol has controlled them almost entirely over the years but recently he has had them more often - every two months or so for the last several months. Those are the ones I have witnessed. He goes to holistic vet who says that as long as they are mild they are not as dangerous as the danger to his liver if his liver is damaged by overmedication. Anyway, with these last few seizures I have noticed that his eyes are bulging out a bit which concerns me. That will be my next question to the vet. He does aquapuncture for seizures and it looks like that is the next step for Clyde. Expensive, but he will by my only dog. .k Hi, My Clyde is 10 and has had seizures for about 6 or 7 years.

He paced and whined too until the dosage was decreased and to once a day given at night. He is pretty much back to normal. If she is still whining ask your vet about possibly decreasing the dosage. Good luck Hi Adam,

At the moment, I am under contract which doesn't allow for side project work. But if that situation changes, I would certainly be open to discussing the possibility. :) -Peter Glad it worked for you.

BTW I am always looking out for a great JS programmer. Do you do side work/projects/joint ventures? I stuck it online and didn’t get the authentication request.

I haven't tested it yet but it may be because I am running the file locally. I'll put it online and check it out. Have a great new years! Thanks for the response.

I'm going to add that to my todo list. :) With regards to scripts on WebmasterWorld, the best way to reach me is probably to use the StickyMail feature at WebmasterWorld. I took a look at the script you linked to, and just tried it in IE7 with no need for ActiveX authorization (that script isn't doing anything that would cause ActiveX authorization). So I'm not sure exactly what you're seeing. I would suggest posting your question in the WebmasterWorld JavaScript forum. -Peter Hi Jake,

I searched for a javascript start/stop/reloader and your script came up at http://www.webmasterworld.com/javascript/3348833.htm I think it does exactly what i would like, but it requires an active x authorization to run in IE, is there a way around that. It needs to run transparent in the background and I would like to start/stop/... it with a function call if I can in an anchor tag. Let me know thanks. How does one get a hold of you?

We first noticed them when she would come right up to your leg, then lock up and basically lean into to you. Of course we would calmly get to her level and just hold her up until the seizure would subside. Her seizures weren't of the shaking variety, just very stiff, deep breathing and eyes dilated almost looking like they were rolling back a bit. Afterwards she would go into a 15-20 minutes, sometimes longer, pace to what I called it, "walking it off." I want to say she had between 8-10, 30 second seizures in a 3-month time period. We went to the vet and it was the typical wait and see approach. On Nov. 15th she had a very bad seizure lasting nearly an hour an a half. We immediately took her to the E-Vet, in which she stayed for 2 night. They put her on a twice a day, tablet and a half dose of phen and to date she has not had one since. My problem is that she will not stop whining. She will sit right next to you and whine for a hours and sometimes bark. She doesn't want outside, she's not in the mood to play, she doesn't want to be petted. She has always been an anxious dog but this whining is driving me CRAZY!!! Obviously it has to be a side effect of the phen because she was never this whiny, does anyone have any tips? Thanks Hi, my almost 3 year old Lab Roxy started having seizures about 6-months ago.

I have a Shepard, probably a mixed breed who is around 10. We rescued him 8 years ago, this accounts for all of the uncertainty. He had a siezure a few hours ago. It is his second one in 2 years. I took him to an emergency vet and then my own vet after the first seizure negative on blood work, both vets felt there was nothing to do.He is having severe allergy problems at this time, he was having them when he had the first seizure also. He is on Wellness food and 2 tabs of Benadry 2 times a day as precribed by the vet. I wonder if an overdose of Benadryl could be the cause of these seizures. His body gets stiff and he flails arounf for about a minute, no lose of urine, foaming at the mouth and he recovers immediaely. Thanks for any help, I can't rush to the vet this time as my husband has been laid off from his job. I know if it happens again I will bring him in as he is the best dog and deserves the best treatment. Thanks HI
