Can neuropathy cause seizures?
Neuropathy is an umbrella term for a host of diseases of the nervous system that have to do with the dysfunction of peripheral and cranial nerves. If it is used as a general term for dysfunctions of the central and peripheral nervous systems, then neuropathy does not cause seizures, but is descriptive of the dysfunction of the system that can result in seizures.

Seizures in Siberian husky what to do?
The treatment depends on the cause of the seizures. If the dog has been poisoned (snail bait is a likely culprit this time of year), and therefore having convulsions or seizures nearly constantly, he'll need to be treated ASAP. If he's had one short seizure, which resolved on its own, he still should see the Vet, but at least it's not an emergency.
Not unless you can prove:
-that a work condition caused or exacerbated a seizure condition,
-that a stressful work environment exacerbated an existing seizure condition,
-that a required duty caused you to be in a place where you sustained a head injury which caused the seizure, or
-that your employer required you to be at work despite their knowledge of an unusually high risk of seizure activity (you had run out of medication, for example).
What disorder would cause paralysis or seizures only when asleep?
Although not associated with seizures, you may be thinking of sleep paralysis.
Sleep paralysis is a disorder characterized by the inability to move upon falling asleep or waking up. Sleep paralysis occurs as a person is moving in our out of rapid eye movement (REM) sleep, and is the result of a premature disconnection between the brain and body. While the brain and body normally disconnect during REM sleep, those who suffer from sleep paralysis experience the disconnection as they are about to enter or exit REM instead.
Symptoms of sleep paralysis include: * Sensations of noise or smells * Feelings of levitation * Inability to move the body * Feelings of terror * Images of intruders
Sleep paralysis can be caused by any incident that disrupts normal REM patterns, including jet lack, insomnia, inconsistent sleep hygiene, and brain injury.
The best way to banish sleep paralysis is to reestablish normal REM patterns. Going to bed and rising at the same time every day will reintroduce a normal brain-body connection.
Can Prednisone trigger seizures in dogs?
My epileptic Cavalier King Charles Spaniel was given prednisone by a vet to see if it would help control her seizures. She had a bad seizure 1.5 hrs after it was taken. I gave her some eye ointment with dexamethasone, another steroid, and she started seizure activity about 2 hrs later. Not sure if steroids will CAUSE seizures in dogs that aren't epileptic, but they definitely cause a recurrence of seizures in my dog who is epileptic.
Seizure threshold refers to the level of neuronal excitability at which a seizure can occur. It varies among individuals and can be influenced by genetic factors, neurological health, and environmental triggers. When the excitability of neurons exceeds this threshold, a seizure may result. Understanding seizure threshold is crucial for managing epilepsy and developing treatment strategies.
What to do with a baby lamb when having seizures?

Does vasogenic edema cause seizure?
Yes, vasogenic edema can potentially cause seizures. This type of edema involves the breakdown of the blood-brain barrier, leading to an accumulation of fluid in the extracellular space, which can increase intracranial pressure and disrupt normal brain function. The resulting changes in the brain's environment can irritate neuronal tissue, increasing the likelihood of seizure activity. Conditions associated with vasogenic edema, such as tumors or trauma, further contribute to the risk of seizures.
How do you stop tremors with high fever?
If this is in infants or young children, contact their pediatricians immediately.
Usually the first step is to lower the fever, usually with fever-reducing medication or cold compresses. If the tremors are caused by shivers and chills (also called rigors) associated with an infection and fever, that is the way to relieve them, but you may also need antibiotics prescribed if you have a high fever and chills, so you should contact your health care professional. If the tremors are more like a seizure than chills, especially in children with a fever, it could be what is called a febrile seizure and that should be checked immediately by a physician.

Is seizure a symptom of drug addiction?
Seizure can very well be a symptom to drugs. You don't necessarily have to be addicted for that to happen.
Are seizures a symptom of hyponatremia?
Yes. Hyponatremia is a conditioned caused by water overload also known as water intoxication or water poisoning.
Because it causes the brain to swell it can cause any symptom associated with brain swelling such as blurred vision, headache, lack of coordination, vomiting, etc. It is a very serious condition.
Healthy adult kidneys are capable of processing 15 liters of water or almost 4 US gallons, per day, if one drinks the water in small quantities spread throughout the entire day.
It is not advisable, however, to drink 15 liters of water daily over a long period.
The United States Department of Agriculture, food and nutrition information center, in general recommends an average daily fluid intake, including liquids from foods and other beverages, of 2.7 liters or 91 ounces for women, and 3.7 liters or 125 ounces for men spread throughout the day.
It is important to realize that the center's recommendation varies more or less with body mass, activity level, heat, humidity, and health status.
In addition, the average healthy person should ingest no more than approximately 240 milliliters, or close to 8 ounces, in roughly an hour giving the body adequate time to absorb use and excrete the water effectively.
People with known health conditions, particularly conditions affecting water balance, should discuss hydration with a doctor specializing in their particular medical concern.
How many children with roseola will have febrile seizures?
