Just from personal experience, I am leaning toward the fact that they can or a least contribute to seizure activity if the dog is predisposed to having them. I rescued a standard poodle who had been living most of his 3 years wearing a shock collar for an invisible fence. With in the first few weeks he had a seizure - and about 2 months..but as time went on, without the shock collar, the seizures became less frequent - only two in the last 8 months and much less severe. My feeling is that since I have had him, no more electrodes passing though his body.
