Natural Dog Remedies Help Dog Seizures

If you have not experienced the almost miraculous results from using natural pet remedies, my real life experience may seem unbelievable. But it is true and has made me a firm believer in using natural pet cures whenever I can.

I was terrified!

Our little lhasha apso, Kashi, was having a seizure and I had no idea what to do. He was lying on the floor, legs stiff, body trembling, mouth open and tongue hanging out. He started to drool excessively and lost control of his bowels and bladder. I didn’t know what to do. I held him close, talked to him in a soothing voice and prayed for him.

After about 20 minutes, Kashi started to get up and tried to walk but kept falling down every couple of steps. He wanted to go outside so I picked him up, carried him out and laid him on the cool grass. He was finally able to walk a little but in a few minutes he again went into seizure. This stage was not as severe or as prolonged. The seizure lasted a total of about 45 minutes.

Kashi remained disoriented for a little while and was very tired. He slept deeply that night. We have had a family vet for our pets and called him to see what to do.

We were told basically that nothing really could be done. We were to watch him during a seizure and to cool him down with water if the seizures went on too long. Extended seizures can overheat your pets body and result in secondary internal injury.

If Kashi continued seizure off and on over the night we were advised to bring him in for examination. A few weeks later Kashi had another seizure similar to the first.

Out vet again said there was really nothing that could be done at that stage. We were told that if the frequency of seizure increased to, say once a week, we should consider putting him on prescription medication.

That did not appeal to me because of the potential side effects. I started my search for natural pet cures or alternative pet medications of some kind when Kashi started having seizures about 3 weeks apart. My research disclosed some disturbing information. Information such as:

• Even veterinarian approved dog foods may not be safe.
• Dogs do not get epilepsy – that is reserved for us “humans”.
• Many pet foods turn your pet into a cannibal.
• A common ingredient in most dog foods can actually cause canine seizures.
• Home made dog foods need to be supplemented to supply everything your pet needs or they too can cause seizures.

I finally found a natural pet remedy that has greatly reduced our dogs seizures. They continue to decrease in severity and get farther apart. The last two were about 5 months apart. I think we are on the mend.

During my search to help Kashi I discovered that you can cure at home most of the problems that you normally take your pet to vet for. This is important not only in times of tight budgets but it can be critical from a time standpoint.

Kashi and I both recommend, that if you love your pet, you invest a little time in learning how to use natural pet remedies to treat your pet at home.

A source I recommend highly is Veterinary Secrets Revealed 2.0. It is authored by Dr. Andrew Jones, DVM who has some 15 years experience treating small animals. It is a valuable resource full of tips and techniques to keep your pet healthy and help you treat him if illness or accident happens.
