Seizures

Yes, rabbits can have seizures. If you think your rabbit is having seizures, bring him or her to a vet with experience and knowledge in treating rabbits as soon as possible. If you can, take a video of the rabbit having a seizure so you can show the vet what exactly happened. See the related questions below for more help.

People with epilepsy can have their seizures triggered by flashing lights

Yes. In Korea, a 35 year old woman presented with right hydronephrosis and a single umbilical artery. Karyotyping was normal and targeted ultrasonography showed an otherwise normal fetus. After 28 weeks of gestation, the mother felt rapid, repetitive fetal movement and an ultrasound at 30 weeks of gestation revealed tonic clonic movements of the fetal trunk and extremities. At 36 weeks of gestation, an emergency repeat Cesarean section was performed because of a premature rupture of the membranes and a male infant weighing 4,295 gm was delivered. After birth, the infant continued to have movements suggestive of a generalized tonic clonic seizure. Brain computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging revealed normal structures and an electroencephalography showed generalized suppression. Treatment with phenobarbital resulted in substantial improvement in the number of seizure episodes, however fine seizure-like movement continued in both of the hands, feet and in the tongue until the five-month follow-up. This is the first Korean report of a fetal seizure being diagnosed during the prenatal period.

A single seizure would not last that long, but people can get lots of seizures one after the other. If that happens they should be hospitalised.

There are two types of febrile seizures: simple (or benign) and complex.

Our dog was sleeping on the couch when he began having a seizure, he fell off the couch into a patio door and broke his neck during the seizure and died. You have to protect a pet having a seizure from hurting its self.

98.6 degrees is normal body temp, now for a seizure to occur that can be just a couple of degrees higher than normal. It really depends on the persons physical shape and level of health some folks trigger into seizures sooner than others but there are so many variables that come into play.

Can you be more specific? That's not a question.

"Not improving this answer, but adding to it...A neurologist (1st appt) today, told me that YES, you can. I had an "episode" about 2 yrs ago in a store, and he said it may have been a seizure. The first thing out of my mouth was, "While STANDING??" lol..."

1st answer: Yes you can. Seizures can happen at any time. Some can be extremely mild and pass very quickly and would hardly have any effect on the person. Only they would know anything has happened at all. So not all seizures are the stereotypical ones of people falling and shaking. So people can and do have seizures while standing up.

Atonic seizures, also called "drop attacks," are abrupt, with loss of muscle tone lasting one to two seconds, but with rapid recovery. Consciousness is usually impaired.

The Sabine women were famous for the legendary seizure of its women.

It depends on the type of seizure, and whether you frequently have seizures, or if this was the first one. Some seizures aren't even noticed by the person having the seizure, or even by others.

The kind of seizure that most people recognize is called a tonic-clonic (grand mal) seizure. This is a primary generalized seizure where you become unconscious, fall down, and have convulsions of the arms and possibly legs.

With some seizures, including tonic-clonic, afterward you'll feel groggy, and need help from others in finding a place to sleep. You probably won't remember this period.

Ideally, the others around you know what to do. They should time the seizure, keep you from hurting yourself, and make notes of what you do. In certain cases, they ought to call for paramedics. Typically, though, no paramedics or ER visit is needed. They just need to find you a safe place a sleep, and maybe drive you home. Hopefully someone writes down a report of what happened, and how long the seizure lasted. Seizures that last longer than 5 minutes or multiple seizures in a row are potentially dangerous, and require emergency attention.

Write down what you know in a seizure diary. You may need to interview a few people. What happened before, during and after the seizure? Take that diary to your next meeting with your neurologist.

There are several reasons why a seizure will occur, The most comman reason if not epileptic, is a high fever. Also if a trauma to the head or a lesion on the brain can cause a seizure

well, there are many types of seizures. if someone is having a grand mal, the person will become unconcious and either become stiff, jerk their body, or both. when someone has a simple partial seizure, you sometimes cant tell at all. but, when having a simple seizure, someones arm or leg will twitch or jerk. with a complex partial seizure, the person will become unconcious, and maybe jerk their body.

I believe that a lack of food can cause seizures. When my daughter gets extremely hungry, she gets a headache then has a seizure. At first, we thought she was having these episodes due to her sugar levels. After much testing, she has been diagnosed with epilepsy. For the past three years, she has kept a snack readily available and eats about every two hours. Even if she is not hungry, due to her med side effects, she will have a seizure if she does not eat often. Also, different foods trigger seizures. Soy, gluten, aspartame, and caffeine can trigger seizures. Recently, we saw a naturalpathic doctor and he has her taking lots of raw foods and juices (carrot, apple, tomato, romaine lettuce, red pepper, and beet. She has cut down on raw fats only to have more seizures! When her fats get low, the seizures increase. She is taking 800 mg. of Tegretol XR daily, but has had 5 seizures the last week. While staying on the raw foods and juices for 4 weeks, she did not have any seizures so there is definitely something to the foods we eat. STRESS causes more seizures than anything else. If anyone has any suggestions, please comment. We are starting yoga tomorrow to see if it helps. She is 19 years old now and severely depressed because the seizures are not under control. Please help if you have an answer for me!

A Grand Mal seizure is the most serious kind. Some people would get very serious ones. These would involve people losing consciousness, falling and serious shaking of the body and possibly people getting physically sick. There is the potential to be physically injured while having a Grand Mal seizure, through pulling muscles or hitting into something. If someone has one in a dangerous location, like if they were climbing, they could seriously injure themselves.

All people can have a seizure in their lifetime. So you do not have to have epilepsy to have a seizure. Epilepsy is when someone gets seizures regularly. There are many causes for seizures. Not getting enough sleep could possibly cause it, but there are so many things that can cause a seizure.

the 4th amendment :D

No. A panic attack is caused by an emotional disorder, while a seizure is caused by a physical condition. If you were having a seizure you would not be aware of things around you, nor would you have any control over your body. In a panic attack you are extremely aware of your body and your surroundings, and have control of your body.

When you have petite mal seizures you black out for a few seconds to a few minutes. Your body doesn't move strangely as in other types of seizures but instead you appear to be "staring off into space." They are triggered by a number of things including strobe lights
- A fixed, blank stare, during which the eyes may roll upward briefly while the person is motionless - Mild muscle twitches, involving the eyelids, corners of the mouth, fingers, or arms - A sudden slight forward slump of head or trunk - Minor stiffening movements of the head or trunk - Automatic movements such as licking and swallowing, fiddling and scratching

yes. it puts holes in your brain. the holes obtain less oxygen to your brain which causes seizures. i know first hand that this happens because it happened to me. stick to smoking marijuana.

Call a ambulance and loosen their clothing so nothing is tight and put something under their head so they don't hurt themselves. Do not put something between their teeth or hold their hands! A tongue heals faster than broken teeth and they can bite and break your bones! Don't attempt to drive them yourself since if you get stuck in traffic the ambulance might not be able to get to you. But this all depends on what the health care professionals tell you on the phone when you speak to them. Do not hang up on them since the situation can change quickly.

Yes it can. You could have a seizure and fall and hurt your self or some another person. Ask your doctor if he can prescribe medicine to help with the seizures. And even minor seizures could be fatal if you have one in the most unlikely places e.g while driving.
