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.

How harmful is epilepsy?
In general epilepsy is not very harmful. It does depend on the severity of it. Someone who has very severe epilepsy can encounter more problems, and may even be considered as a candidate for surgery. For most epilepsy sufferers, this is not an issue. Death from epilepsy is not unknown, but it is rare. People can also die indirectly as a result of having epilepsy, like if they had a seizure in a dangerous location and fell. Most people do not have any real problems and live very normal lives despite their epilepsy. It causes very few restrictions for them.
How many deaths a year from epilepsy?
Epilepsy CAN be fatal although many sufferers take medication and live a relatively normal life. Status Epilepticus is life threatening. This is where a seizure continues for more than 5 minutes or a person does not regain consciousness between seizures. Many people die from this and it requires immediate emergency treatment. Seizures can cause breathing difficulties or head injuries from a fall. Drowing is a big risk for seizure sufferers.Epilepsy is not a fatal condition. People who have Epilepsy and die, rarely die because of their epilepsy. If someone has a seizure while doing some dangerous activity, they may have an accident and die as a result of that, but it would not be the epilepsy itself that kills them. The vast majority of people who have epilepsy lead very normal lives and when they die, it is for some other reason.There is a condition known as SUDEP - Sudden Unexplained Death from Epilepsy. It even has an official name. A few different Epileptic conditions (Dravet's Syndrom comes to mind) reduce a person's life expectancy to not likely to live past 5. This is largely because NO ONE KNOWS what causes it and how to cure it. However this is a small minority of the people who have epilepsy, and do live relatively normal lives outside of their actual seizures.Some places for reference are linked to below:
