Seizures

Unfortunately, Boxers are a breed that are currently suffering from a lack of genetic diversity and inherited disease. Boxers are prone to epilepsy, causing seizures and fits, which need regular medication to control. Not all Boxers are affected, but many pedigree lines suffer from a wide range of illnesses. It is caused by inbreeding mostly, and is a result of matings between close relatives. This causes illnesses such as epilepsy to be present and can be passed down through generations. Before breeding a Boxer, always ensure that it is healthy and that it has had all relevant health tests for inherited disease.

I'm searching for the answer to the same question. My dog had a seizure two days after I'd applied Frontline Plus (just about the right timing for it to have been fully absorbed). I have no way of knowing whether that caused his seizure, but I'm reluctant to use it again, particularly in light of the EPA's new investigation of topical flea and tick ointments. If you believe that your dog had a seizure due to a spot-on flea & tick product, you can report it to the EPA at their website.

The correct term is "grand mal seizure." This is a type of tonic-clonic seizure that features a loss of consciousness and violent muscle contractions.

Eclipses do not cause or induce seizures, but for people who are prone to seizures, it is possible that one might occur (entirely by coincidence!) during an eclipse. There is no known connection between them.

chihuahuas don't have seizures when they're upset!!! lol my dog coughs a lot, but that's normal in chihuahuas and pomeranians. get ur dog checked oout at the veterinarian.

What is the diagnosis of why your dog is having seizures?

A prodrome can be a sign starting a few days beforehand, that a seizure may be happen. It has been likened to the first signs or symptoms that a cold or flu may be coming. It does not happen for all epilepsy patients. Epilepsy has a wide range of causes and levels of severity, so everyone's experiences and triggers are different. So it is not possible to know days beforehand that a seizure may happen in all cases. The trigger for some seizures may happen just before it. The classic example is people who have their seizures triggered by flashing lights, which are only about 3% - 5% of people with epilepsy. Their seizures could be triggered at any time, so it would be impossible to know several days beforehand that it would happen. In terms of what those who may have a prodrome might experience, see the related question below which refers to migraines, but would have things in common with those that have prodromes for their seizures.

no

Yes, it is quite common for those who have Partial Epilepsy for EEG's and MRI's to be clear as the section is not thin enough or only a small part of the brain is affected.

There are many forms of seizure and a person having one can behave in different ways. It is usually very clear that they are not drunk but are having some other problem, namely a seizure. There are many ways of knowing that someone is drunk, and it would be very obvious that they will have been taking alcohol. A seizure is not like that.

Only under very rare conditions.

To protect its citizens from terrorist attacks

Yes. Dehydration and impaction are the most common reasons lizards have seizures.

Limp posture and a brief period of unconsciousness are features of akinetic seizures, which occur in young children. Akinetic seizures, which cause the child to fall, also are called drop attacks.

My teen has limited color blindness after two seizures and a near death experience . Both were in water ie the gulf of Mexico so no more beach for him.

There is constant electrical activity in the brain. A seizure can occur when an increased amount of electrical activity happens. For different people the actual reasons also differ. So there is no single or simple answer to the question. Different people have different triggers or their seizures.

Sometimes it can also be because of slight damage to an area of the brain, though that does not necessarily mean that the person is brain damaged or is in some way retarded. Neither are they mentally ill as epilepsy is a physical not mental illness. So someone can have a slight piece of damage on their brain but it does not affect them in any way in their ordinary lives, except that they may get seizures.

People often associate flashing lights with seizures, although less than 5% of people who have seizures are in any way affected by flashing lights, but have other causes for their seizures. Stress can be a cause. People may have seizures because of some other health factor that affects their brain, like if they had suffered a head injury or if they had some other physical problem with their brain, like if they had a tumour. So there are many reasons why electrical activity in the brain could be disrupted.

no but you can get a big bruise.

any kind of over use of pain killers will cause pin pointed pupils. That is a major sign that over dose or a seizure is very near.

I'm/He's having a Seizure.

According to the American Border Collie Association, it is one of three primary genetic diseases associated with the breed (the other two are Hip Displasia and Collie Eye Anomaly.)

If it was caused by something work related, worker's comp or your company's insurance does.

Complex partial seizures have no known cause other than coming from a form of epilepsy. These seizures are often preceded by a seizure aura, and usually resort in an altered state of conciousness.

It depends on the type that it is. An absent seizure is often when someone loosed contact with reality, they will stare off at nothing without blinking, they will be unresponsive to any sound or touch. They will often ask if someone can repeat what they said. Sometimes they will stop breathing. And another type of seizure is when you begin to stare, then your body will lock up, you will be unable to breath correctly or at all, you will begin to shake and sometimes this makes the person sick.
