PDE - caused by inflammation of the brain Epilepsy - caused by abnormal or excessive neural activity PDE - progressive, no cure, generally results in death within 3 months Epilepsy - can be treated with medication, pugs can live full and happy lives for years after diagnosis Basically, if you have a pug who is suffering from seizures, you want it to be epilepsy. My little puggy girl has epilepsy, and lives a pretty normal life. We've found triggers for her are overstimulation with other dogs, pumpkin, and stress. Her seizures are pretty infrequent, so the vet and I decided medication was not necessary at this point. We control them through avoidance. I also make sure to keep the vet's numbers and emergency vet numbers handy at all times.

Is dog epilepsy lethal?
Like human epilepsy, canine epilepsy is not fatal. People can die from getting a seizure, although this is extremely rare. A dog can too, but again it is rare. A lot of people die not because of the seizure itself, but because of the circumstance is which they have it. If someone was doing something dangerous, and had a seizure, they could die from something after that, like if they were climbing a ladder and fell. The same kind of thing could happen to a dog. Most people people and dogs with epilepsy will lead normal lives and live as long as anyone else and will die of some other cause. So while they could die as a result of epilepsy, epilepsy in dogs is not fatal.
