In reply to the discussion: *Daughter just called, said dog (...doodle) had 'massive seizure,' [View all]SheltieLover
(57,073 posts)13. Yes, they can rx meds to help control, but no guarantee
That there will never be another seizure.
My vet told me if she had severe seizure, to put cool water on paws to help bring down temp.
Every seizure damages parts of the brain, sadly.
I was fortunate to have a houngster with mild autism frequently around who could "hear her brain getting ready to misfire," so that definitely helped!
Healing vibes in the way to pupers & your family. I know the big seizures left me exceptionally traumatized. Lots of foaming at mouth, etc. Very hard to watch. 💔💗💗💗
