Anyone have any experience with seizures in dogs?

Had an awful situation this arvo with that sweet little girl above where she just started hunching over, drooling at the mouth, legs full extension and looking absolutely terrified. She had just gobbled 3 small round pieces of kibble and we were thinking she had one jammed somewhere or something.

Tried clearing her airways, did the old mouth over the muzzle cpr because it was hard to tell if she was breathing. After a bit of throat massaging and trying to get her to gag and throw up she came good. We were halfway to the emergency vet hospital by that stage and she started wagging her tail and barking at birds and dogs out the car window.

She has been fine since. Never had anything like it happen in the past with any dogs so kind of got me a bit freaked out and replaying it over and over in my head.

Not personally, I follow a few cattledog groups on socials, and some of the USA people have had some good outcomes with CBD oil for dogs, IIRC

AKC Canine Health Foundation | Evidence for the Use of CBD to Treat Canine Idiopathic Epilepsy

Introduction If your dog suffers from epilepsy, you know how heartbreaking and unpredictable seizures can be. A new study funded by the AKC Canine Health Foundation (CHF) offers hope: cannabidiol (CBD) oil may help reduce seizure frequency in dogs with idiopathic epilepsy. This breakthrough...

There haven't been a lot of studies, apparently, yet there seem to be a noticable number of people with doggos who a doing better on CBD.

The lack of studies esp in the USA may be in part because the US veterinary Association is basically anti cannabis, in line with most US federal law.


A couple of links from Oz.

The main takeaway appears to be that CBD only products are better for Dogs and Cats, as THC can be toxic for them

Medicinal cannabis for pets

More veterinarians are turning to medicinal cannabis as an alternative to conventional therapies. But as an emerging clinical field with limited scientific investigation, its legitimacy as a bone fide treatment is still being questioned. By Tracey Porter On 29 February 2016, the Australian...

Vet visits Are fecking expensive, but you might want to get your wee girl checked over and you could ask them about CBD and whether it would be appropriate for your doggo. Hopefully your Vet is open minded.

Best to dig into the info and also keep in mind that CBD might not be the best treatment option.

The CBD that the vets will prescribe is specific for animals, with low or zero THC, and other toxic compounds present in some (dodgy??) human Cannabis products.

Thanks mate, planning on going to the vet today or tomorrow to have a chat.

Will have a read up on this stuff.
 
Mrs Cammas decided she wanted someone to keep her company besides the grandkids, while I’m at work or out riding and I thought it would be good for one of my grandsons who is at our house regularly, while my daughter is working. She decided to get this little Frenchie cross, who is already spoilt and she only picked her up on Sunday but he is really taking a shine to her and she isn’t going to be too boisterous with him.

I do a bit of work with cats, mostly getting stray kittens off the streets, desexed and into homes. As such ive got to know a local vet nurse quite well, she rang me last Wednesday night asking if I knew anyone who was after a dog as someone had come into the clinic demanding a 2yr old wolf hound cross be put down for free because she saw it as live stock and had no connection with it, the vet refused, she then came back and said the dog was dangerous and had to be put down for safety, the vet refused. The vet talked her into surrendering the dog instead of killing it.
Anyway, so this is her the next day with my sister in Sydney. Literally the sweetest, meekest dog ever. She carriers her toy strawberry everywhere.

She is has like 1/8 pocket bully so she is going to be a little bigger than a frenchie so she can handle the kids a little better.

Ah yes him and her are quite a pair, she has a good calming effect on him and he already says my puppy.

I hope that cunt didn't beat and abuse this sweet doggo. They obviously didn't deserve this dog's love and loyalty.

You could teach them...

What ways can you teach them responsibility for another life in their hands?

Could be a starter pet like some goldfish, or a couple of small tortoises?

Something alive, but it's not going to cause major trauma if it dies - as callous as that sounds.

Geez did I forget about puppy training, just spent the half an hour in the yard while she does everything but go to the toilet, she found sticks, weeds, rocks, got scared by the wind and rolled in the bushes, but finally after all of that she does a two second wiz and we can go to bed, she’s now completely knackered and asleep already, while I’m still trying to wind down.

Just googled...yeah, f*ck that.. I thought I had a "difficult" breed but you're probably doing the right thing not going off leash in a park.

Doesn'y matter though.
Doggo's are still the best people

Basenjis don’t have owners - they have staff. And their staff are grateful for the opportunity!
My parents adore them! I tent to mostly get a pass when i visit as I must smell like family, but it’s clearly conditional.

Ours is part foxie, but that part must only be 0.01% because she is all of those behavioural points listed, though she does bark a little.
