Seizures can be fatal because the dog overheats. When your dog has a seizure take measures to cool him down. I don't have any experience or advice to offer regarding seizure medications.

I had a dog that hand them starting when the dog was a few years old. They got to be more frequent as the dog aged. I didn't pursue medication. The dog died of cancer at 12 years of age. I noticed my dog seemed to get them when he was in or near sticker (black berry) bushes.

Sorry for you dog. I am dog lover and hate it when one gets sick. Over the years we have had three or four sled dogs that suffered from seizures. I do not recall what the Vet recommended as it was a while back. We put them on the vet recommended meds and they all did pretty good and it cut down on the seizures. We never ran any of those dogs again and they lived out nice quiet lives as pet her on the place. Good luck

We have a black lab that has them he is on vet recommended medicine it helped some then we also started giving him CBD oil seems a little better now about every third month in the middle of the night usually he will have a couple. We have also noticed if we have a low pressure weather system roll thru that can trigger them or severe thunder storms

My dog started having seizures after I used a Ivermectin based wormer. She would have several a week for several weeks after being worked. Once I stopped using that for wormer they went away. I feel very blessed that I was able to isolate the cause. Good to know there are essential oils and that CBD can also help if I have issues in the future. I hope that all the other dog owners find something that helps theirs. It is a terrible thing to watch.

My black lab gets em few times a year. He takes a phenobarbital tablet one a day it helps. If he goes into a seizure he gets a few tablets in a hot dog once his face relaxes enough to swallow and he normally comes back.
