Horror show with my dog

Have they checked for that?

Good luck with your dog.

We sent him a video. He thinks seizures too. But they just started in January when my husband and this dog moved from Oklahoma to Ohio.

or something else in your new home that triggers seizures. I've seen this mentioned in a pet column by Dr. Michael Fox, a British vet. The column appears in the Washington Post on Thursdays.

Here's his web site: http://drfoxvet.com/info/

We've lived in two places in Ohio, one with carpet and one (currently) without. The frequency has increased- this is his third episode in as many weeks, and the second this week. The very first episode occurred within a few weeks of moving to Ohio.
Hopefully the Ohio State vets will know what's going on and can at least give him something to make him comfortable. Sometimes these episodes last hours.

It could be the material used to make the dog food bowl, if you bought a new one.

It could be paint, it could be an allergen in the air, a new piece of furniture, a new cleaning product, a new dog bed, something people are spraying on their lawns, or any number of things.

Look for anything that changed.

I know that I've had horrendous allergies since moving to Ohio. Thanks for the suggestions!

A playful little nut, actually.

hopefully this doesn't cost us an arm and a leg.

I wouldn't know what to make of that but it just has to be frightening to witness.

Best of luck at the vet, and I hope everything goes well.

Freakishly, also in Ohio. The dog was diagnosed with seizures and is still on an anti-seizure med, which helped but did not stop them, it just lessened the frequency.

Good luck finding the cause. Great idea to have video of this sent to the vets.

and the verdict is focal seizures. He'll be on phenobarbital for the foreseeable future, but it doesn't appear that rumors are causing them.
