I had a fucking scary day yesterday. My new puppy had a seizure. The breed is evidently prone to them. Had to take him to the emergency vet to get checked out. Now have to wait for the vet neurologist (I didn’t even know these were a thing) to weigh in on treatment. Watching him thrash and drool broke my heart. He seems to he his old self today, so I’m hoping he’s no worse for the experience.


Congratulations hippie. Girls are the best. You’re gonna have a blast.

Thats scary shit man. Glad he's alright, anyway. I assume you've since done some research on these seizures? Is it potentially life threatening or just something shitty he's gonna go through once in a while?

Get your puppy on cbd supplements. Cbd has pretty much stopped my girlfriend and brothers seizures.

The vet said the seizure itself isn’t life threatening, but when he has one he can hurt himself if he isn’t somewhere safe. So we have to keep an even closer eye on him and make sure he doesn’t fall down the stairs, or smack his head on something when he seizes.

Evidently the seizure itself isn’t a painful thing. It does take him a couple hours to get back to his old self afterward. He’s really tired and acts like he’s confused and clumsy for a bit.

Thanks. I’ll look into it. We’ve been doing tons of research to see what kind of things will help him. I’d like to keep him off of the phenobarbital if possible. Even changing his diet can help.

She's even green.



Even a little green on the inside.



Gotta stay warm under the blankets in winter baby frog.



With more dials and data for momma frog.



And absolutely none of this is necessary.  But it was fun to build and think about and put together

Yeah, it can really vary on the types of seizures, and cause of seizures. My girl gets too hot, too anxious, too flustered, and she can likely have a seizure. She isn't on any medication and we've gotten her down from so.etomes two seizures a month to no seizures for months at a time. My brother is on other meds for his and theybdont do shit. Taking cbd gummies does the heavy lifting and intranasal cbd when one starts to break through. Now whenever he gets an aura we hit him with intranasal cbd and it stops them in their tracks. Same with my girl.

It could be harder to figure our with a dog because they can't tell you if they're having an aura before the seizure. But add some cbd supplements to his food and it could help drastically, just out of experience with humans.

They should have just moved off the schedule completely. But since it’s still scheduled, I guess I’ll just go down a few fifths of everclear since it’s legal.

But yeah, I guess it’s a step in the right direction.

Good luck mate.  I had to have 2 of those.  The first one didn't 'take'
