What Do I Do If My Dog Had 2 Seizures?

She just fell over and started shaking and took a step and did it again she's been fine all day.

    Your dog needs to be examined by a veterinarian to see if a cause can be found or if your dog may have epilepsy.  Causes of seizures include toxin, trauma, hypoglycemia, certain tumors, liver disease, and infectious disease.  Depending upon treatment may be curative.  If this is epilepsy then our goal is control not cure.  Your veterinarian will assess if your dog needs to be on anti-convulsants at this time.  I am concerned because your dog has had 2 seizures in a 24 hour period--multiple seizures close together is called a cluster and needs treatment.

      Apparently it is common for dogs to have fits. My dog must have been mentally ill, but our friend who we bought him off said one day he will have a fit and he will be fine, he didn't, but my friends dog did have a fit and he was fine. However, my friends pug has got epilepsy and has to be on medication. Ring the vets and the nurse will tell you what to do.

      I had a dog with seizures and he got adjusted by a chiropractor who adjusts dogs and they used the activator on C2 and C1 and it relaxed his neck and apparently helped a lot we were down to 1 a year and now he continues to have it checked and he doesn't have anymore seizures, this supposedly helps humans too.
