  • They can do one or all of these things: Fall over and become disoriented, Their limbs will become stiff and rigid, They can drool and "chomp" ( keep hands out of a dogs mouth when it is having a seizure! They can have loose bowel and/or bladder control; twitch /shake/tremble uncontrollably. Sometimes a seizure can last for 10 seconds and sometimes it can last for 10 minutes. Some dogs will have "gran-Mal" seizures which is where they continue experiencing these symptoms over and over again with no rest or relief in between episodes.
  • Dogs can remain almost completely still during an episode. The only clue that may key you in to the fact that they are having a seizure is that their eyes are moving back and forth very rapidly; their heads may twitch slightly and they may begin to vocalize such as grow; bark; whine or howl for apparently no reason. Seizures can be an indication of a number of different problems ranging from epilepsy; ear infections to something as serious as chemical poisoning. Get your dog to a vet as soon as possible. to make sure whatever is causing the seizures is not life threatening.
