Nervous System:
Epilepsy: Defined as a state in which repeated seizures occur. The interval between seizures may only be minutes, but it is usually hours or days and even several months. Epileptic attacks may start to occur some weeks or (usually) months after a blow to the head, such as might occur in a car accident. This is due to scar tissue contracting and producing a source of irritation within the brain. Many epileptic attacks are classified as "idiopathic epilepsy", which means the condition is of unknown cause. Treatment of epileptic dogs is frequently very rewarding, but you will need a close liaison with your vet to find the correct drugs and most suitable dose rate.
