Hey doc it's Linda down here in Florida. I gotta tell you this little story....I had a white German Shepard..he had a seizure about once a month. It was horrible..well I was feeding him pedigree dry dog food and I had ran out of it. When I got to the store they were out of stock so I got him a different kind of dog food til the store was restocked with the pedigree...well the dog really liked the new food so I kept buying it...the new food was dog chow.....well low and behold ..NO MORE SEIZURES!!!! WOW!!!! Well for some reason I had got a bag of pedigree in between the dog chow ....and the friggin seizure s started again .. I thought no way...so back to dog chow and No SEIZURES again....come to find out it was the red dye on the pedigree dog dood....some of the nuggets in the bag were dyed red and that's what caused the SEIZURES....hes been on. Dog chow for 3 years with no seizures at all.....i did loose him to old age 4 months ago ...i miss him. But maybe my story can help some of your viewers. Check their diet first it could be part or all of the problem

Not knowing why my dog was acting CRAZY, it dawned on me he was having a seizure, as I had had YEARS, ago. Personally, I knew what he needed. Experience brings progress. NO MEDS at all. Holding and having affection is the MAIN prescription!😊

I love how tula and Pipi are happy to go along with whatever the plan is.😂 I love this

Thank you for breaking it down like you did. My Standard poodle has her 1st one 2 years ago this week. She seems to have about 10 a year. The first 2 she had (4 months apart) were well over 3 minutes. She can feel them coming on and tries to come find me. The rest have been about 2-3 min. Comes out of them very euphoric and happy. She just had one Dec 28th, 2022 and it was almost 8 minutes long. I know this because I try and video them in case my vet or anyone needs to see them. She is on 125mg Zonisamide twice a day. Anyway my point is that I very much appreciated your video. Valerie

Always helpful. We as your RU-vid family are very grateful for your videos.

Subscribed already! Great video, thx for sharing I can relate to having a dog w/seizures, it’s been very very hard on my lil dog, I do EVERYTHING & ANYTHING I can to make him better.

Excellent information!!!

Thank you! My 4 yr old has been having seizures for two years. I recently stopped bromide and Phenobarbital and went onto Keppra as his liver enzymes were rising. Even with the medication, he was seizing tonic clonic clusters lasting up to 3 days. He has been treated with half a bromide, omega 3 and cbd oil twice daily only for over 2 weeks now and so far no seizures (knock on wood).i would never have had the confidence to stop his medication without you 🌸🐾

Hi Dr. Andrew my 15 yr old male Chorkie was given one dose of Bravecto by the vet and now has bouts of twitching or tremors when standing and sometimes loses his balance. He doesn’t have “seizures” like what you demonstrated with Tula. He will just stop and Twitch a bit… breaks my heart. 😢 You are the best human ever and thank you so much for helping our furbabies through this toxic world and you help me too! I’m have found rife frequency helps us also…. Keep up the great work. ❤

Even though I told my vet that I feed my dog meat and vegetables, he wanted me to feed her that neuro care 💩 I told him no and he looked at me like I said I said I can cure cancer with tea tree oil. He went on about it's backed by science, insinuating functional medicine isn't. I'm sure the pet food industry paid for that bit of science. The main ingredients are corn and wheat flour. Thanks Dr Jones, you're a star. 🤩

My 13 year old golden retriever Matu had been struggling with degenerative myelopathy and hip dysplasia since early 2017 and while it was harder to walk, he was still happy. He ate his food, drank his water and enjoyed his kong toy on the weekends. I also took him swimming every single day to keep his strength up and to loosen up his joints without any pressure on his legs. Last night after his normal routine of going out, doing his business (with some help) and then coming in for bed, he had a seizure which my family and I had never experienced before and it was one of the hardest things to watch. We had to make an emergency house call to come put him down. He calmed down before they arrived and thankfully was tired out enough that he went very peacefully. I know this may not be the place, but I just needed a place to vent so to speak and this seemed relevant as I was watching your other video about Grief. I have been watching your channel for information over the last 2 years and appreciate that you take the time to make these. Keep up the good work that you're doing.

Thank you so much for this I love your videos I so appreciate advise and suggestions

Thank you so much Dr for the Great information as always!!!

Thank you! Your information is invaluable!!

Just want to say thank you I am going to try the things you said for the seizure and hoping that my dog gets better he is a service dog and I don't know what I'm going to do without him I just don't know thanks keep making videos

Aww thanks Brother ♥️🤗🙏🏾

Thank you for this useful information!

@VETERINARY SECRETS HAPPY NEW YEAR DOC THANKS FOR THE UPLOAD

Thank you Dr. Andrew you are truly a Blessing seeing how you truly care about God's smaller creatures. I have a 13 yr. old Yorkie female that had seizures about a year ago. I took her to the vet and after a series of labs was diagnosed with seizures and was put on Zonisamide capsules 25 mg. I don't have a clear understanding if she's supposed to be on the Zonisamide the rest of her life. I feel bad giving her a chemical daily. She weighs about 11 lbs and will turn 14 May 8th. She's healthy and has not had any seizures at all after starting the medicine. I have t watch the rest of your videos on this subject I have been watching so many of your beautifully done videos on many other subjects. Much love and 🙏 respect.

Thank you 😊

Thank you!! I appreciate this information

Thank you

You are amazing thankyou 🙌😇

I love your dogs and your videos 🥰🥰

Thank you for the best advice ever💕

Thank you for sharing

Thanks so much for your help

Thank you so much Dr. Jones! My 19 year old Shi Tzu has begun having seizures. I will apply ALL of these suggestions. Thanks again!

Thank you Doc! I always feel so much better since I started watching your videos😊👍😺🐶🐶

Thanks for sharing this. I have a 3 yr old lab terrier that’s been having seuzures lately. It’s been every 3 weeks and for 30 mins. The vet recommended phenobarbitals but I don’t feel right giving it to him. This video helped a lot and hopefully can shed some light on my situation. 😔Much appreciated doc!👍🏼

I'm going to get some MCT oil for myself and my dog! Very informative! Thanks Doc!

You have my thanks.

You are the best vet💗

I can’t wait to try these remedies. My rescue Papillon came to me with a brain tumor and hydrocephilitis. His primary seizures are under control, but the fly biting syndrome continues to get worse. I’m trying to find remedies for the fly biting because I can tell he’s very distressed when they occur. When it gets bad, I give him gabapentin to sedate him a bit and that helps. But I’d like to find a more natural way of treating this. I already ordered and used Dr. Jones’s CBD oil, but it didn’t have any effect on this dog.

Thank you.

i love your videos!! i would like some clarification , am i choosing 1 of the remedies or all 5 of the remedies?

Tky Doc 🐶 ❤

I tried the pressure pointcit Worked!

Yes! Become a Patreon! It’s easy and every little bit helps👍

Very helpful video, it’s terrifying to see your dog suffering from a seizure…

Thank you for the range of options ,GV 26 is probably a facial nerve ,the nasopharyngeal nerve,it is the nerve that is the first nerve as I call it for animals and humans because it is the nerve of smell linking the child to the mother .

I love your channel. Its so informative. Could you do a video about rabies vaccines and all vaccines necessary for strictly 100% indoor dog? I hear mix things about the negative sides of dog vaccinations. I have a maltese male, neutered 6.5 years old and off vaccines for the past 5 years. Hes in great health.Your input will be greatly appreciated.

Look at that tail wagging! Love Pipi! We had a pink nose lab! They are both so sweet! We use cbd oil for our chihuahua for pain and the added benefit of helping seizures he has started to have!

Hi Dr. Jones. I’m so glad I found your videos. I have a 12 year old Weimaraner in good health and had her first seizure at 2am the other night. I was frantic and took her to the emergency vet. They put her on the generic keppra and told me do not miss a dose! I don’t want her on these meds she is sedative sleeps all day and when she gets up and walks you can see she’s dropped up. I have ordered all your remedies and plan to start them as soon as they arrive. However, What is the best way to ween her off the meds? I don’t think I should just stop cold Turkey. Should I start your remedies while she’s on the meds then ween her off. What’s your suggestion! She is my life I’ll do anything for her. Thanks for truly loving the animals.

For accupressure point to stop dog epilepsy please start at 6:40 .

I love your channel. Thank you. My dog has kidney disease and he is older. He only recently started seizing. I feed him low protein diet and make his food. I do add coconut oil in his food but how much for a 60# dog? Would you recommend I buy the MCT oil and augment? Same with fish oil. I feed him shrimp and just a little bit of salmon. Shall I get the supplement? O do notice his skin is soft and no longer dry under his chin

Dr. so glad u have Tulsa. she is so. cute. and has a friend. pipilove that. every one needs a friend. she sure does love . I have two. standard poodles so smart. and kind. why didn't' ,,her last owner's didn't',want her. so. sweet .xo

my border collie had 2 seizures vet called them night terror ones, his liver blood count was high put him on a raw diet with milk thistle he hasnt had a seizure since hated the drugs for his seizure it called levetiracetam it totally knocks him out and thats no quality of life but since changing his diet his liver counts went back to normal. with the addition of milh thistle.

I tried my best to care but my dog died , My dog will rest , my dog will not suffer anymore god will take of her and she's happy in heaven See you again lana.......

My dog had seizures. It also looked like he was having fear and anxiety before the seizure would start. It was like he was possessed as he would suddenly awake from sleep and would seizure. It was from taxoplasmosis from cat faeces. He was given ivermectin after having 3 seizures in 2 days and his seizures stopped. He has gone back to sleeping peacefully again. Amazing. Thank God!

Where do uou get MCT oil and other items you talked about?

My 11-year-old mixed-breed dog has had three spells of confusion and muscle rigidity. Not a full-blown seizure from your description. And all three times I suspected her dog food. I stopped feeding her that bag of food and no more problems, until years later. She starts pacing and being clingy. The first two I was standing next to her. She was standing and started leaning into my hand. Soon all her weight was in my hand. Her eyes showed her confusion. I held her and soothed her and it passed within 3 minutes. Same scenario for her second within that month. Fast forward at least 3 years and she had another one. This time she was clingy. Then she stepped away and I noticed her left front leg was rigid and she held it up in the air. I moved her to her bed and laid on top of her to comfort her. She was trembling slightly. It passed in about 3 minutes. Is this a seizure? Again, I switch dog food and she hasn't had any more.

CBD oil I used right away. Works great!

Cbd oil works my cat had a brain tumor and was having seizures and I put a few drops of cbd oil on his skin and it helped in almost 10 minutes.

DO YOU SUGGEST THIS FOR MONOCLONIC AS WELL?

what brand MCT oil ??

I appreciate your knowledge but I tried everything you suggested for itiching for my dog and nothing worked . Will look into the quercetin next.

There are so many cbd oils out there. Which one do you use and it is a pet variety or human. Is it broad sprectrum? Thanks

Hi doct I was just curious can I ask you if what the specific term of the med

Do you recommend giving the MCT and Omega 3 at the same time or split it up at different times during the day?

Hello, I’m very grateful for your video and knowledge. My pup has recently started having seizures. Most of the links for the products you recommend are no longer working. Is there a way you can provide new information?😊

Can these be taken in combination or can they have negative effects when combined?

How about a potential calcium deficiency and using yogurt or cottage cheese to reduce seizures?

My Belgian malinois mix rescue is having focal intracranial seizures.

Can you please update with alternative products or links that are not expired/unavailable?

Hi there! Can phenobarbital make your normally friendly dog aggressive? Thank you.

Dr. Jones, is the MTC oil ok to give a diabetic dog that also suffers with pancreatitis?

Your golden retriever is like, "give me that cbd!"

Thank you so much for all your videos, My Luna has trigeminal nerve sheath tumors and her vet has given up on her saying is best to put her down. She still very lively and eats and drinks well. she has muscle atrophy on her right side of her body. She wasn't able to walk very well and she was having seizures. I started giving her your CBD oil and other supplements you have recommended in previous videos and she has gain her weight back and her strength, she has not had a seizure since and she is doing fantastic. She is 12, so chemo and radiation is a No due to her age. I do have a question. I have been giving her Red Reishi and tumeric as well, i have read it helps with dogs with tumors. Is it safe? should i continue with red Reishi for the rest of her life or do i have to give it a break once in a while.

The MCT oil you listed is no longer available. Is there another brand you recommend? And is there any risks or side effects to expect if you give your epileptic dog the amount of MCT oil you recommend? Thanks!

New subscriber here. I have a 2 yr old black mouth curr who has had 3 seizures. It has scared us because she's never had any issues. We are switching their food from blue Buffalo to science diet. She does the chewing of her tongue and foaming at the mouth but she seems to try to run around cause she is scared since they go temporarily blind she gets scared and confused. Do you have any other advice

Can I use coconut oil instead of mct oil?

I heard Taurine can be really good too.

Our 12 yr old had her 1st mild seizure this evening. Only lasted for a minute. She couldn’t stand up & when she was able, she was weaving back & forth & acting discombobulated. Do you suggest all of these items or can I add maybe the MCT oil & fish oil to her diet??

Would MCT OIL be good for cats with seizures also?

What is ingredient of MCT oil

Thank you very much for this video, can you please give some information about the dog who leaks or no control over pee.

What brand of MCT Oil is that? The link doesn’t work. Can they take MCT Oil and CBD Oil together?

Where do you get it.

Sir my dog suffering from fits at starting stage.can I use the CBD for this dog.it is below 6months

I love how they got real calm after the oil at the end. ^.^ Ohh and wanted to ask you what you think about this. My Buster has had seizures all his little life. He is a long haired chihuahua. Sweetest lil guy ya could ever meet. Well to me anyways. ^.^ He is a male dog and is now about 9 years old. He had Kennel Cough when he was barely brought into this world. I hand fed him and later when well he started having seizures. I tried everything and nothing helped until one day he had a full blown one that wasn't going away. He began hassling and was over heating. I told my daughter to bring me an icepack and I placed the ice pack on the back of his head. It helped him stay cool as well as kept his brain from causing a stroke. We were desperate cause no vet offices were open. My daughter got on her phone and looked up what could help . We had found 3 options. But the one that seemed to bounce out at me was Vit.C melting tablets. I just happen to have some in my emergency kit. I grabbed them and chewed a little and placed it into his mouth best I could. He never tried to bit me or anyone. His legs would draw up towards his head and become stiff of course. He would growl but never bite. Ok now to what was the result? It began to stop the seizure almost immediately. I have used it from then on when he would have a seizure and same thing every time. They would almost go away as soon as I placed it in and under his tongue . He has almost gone a whole year before the last one he had right before Christmas. None again since. My question is ,can VitC be helpful with this? It worked every time so I just have always felt it was the Vit C cause I have never used anything else but that.

Hi! Can i give my senior dog S-Support by Prana and CBD oil? If so how much daily? My dog is 17 yrs old and is 26 lbs

Thank you for talking about this topic! I was boarding a dog over the holidays with seizure issues due to old age. And it is sadly more common in younger dogs than I had known. I will most definitely get the CBD oil for my dogs. TY :)

Would you try all of these with 3 meds or even 2 we are transitioning onto a new one and off another

Thank you big help formy beagle e has sizzure

Hey doc, I need some info. My lil' friend is 15 now, and started small seizures in April of 2020. Just teeth chomping and head shaking. I've been giving C8 MCT oil for a little over 10 months. Before that her liver enzymes were high with ALT's slightly elevated but high ALP's(as high as 1800, but gradually coming down to 600). AST and GGT are normal. Can the liver handle the MCT? Also, according to the LDDS test in May 2020, she has pituitary related cushings, so that might cause the high numbers. Last night a more severe seizure happened(the head out and swimming thing). First time that happened. CBD oil helped calm it, but she was uncoordinated for 1-1/2 hours or so. Signs point to brain tumor. Will MCT oil help that? She's been getting 1 tspn usually every day. Thanks, and thank you for the videos.

The link to the MCT oil is not working. I have a 200 pound Great Dane and would like to get this in a softgel if available. Can you provide a new link?

💖

Could i have a quick call with you to discuss my dogs seizures and the meds she just started started as I don’t like the phenobarbital drugs the vet gave us a week ago

Hi Dr Jones. From Johannesburg, South Africa. Our precious 2 year old Siberian Husky just starting having seizures. 3rd time last night, with 4 in a row. Full bloods at the vet, all 100% okay. Must we try all 5 remedies at once?

I understand this vid is three years old but have a question. You recommend Alpha-Lipoic Acid of 10 mg per 10 lbs of pup weight. I have not been able to locate any small dose capsules. Do I just open a 200 msg capsule and guess at 10mg? I have 2 pups, plus lol me, who need it. Both pups less than 15lbs. Please advise.

Thank you so much for sharing. My 80 lb husky mix has seizures every 4 - 6 weeks. He is now having about 8 seizures that take the span of 3 days. I have tried many different brands of CBD oil, Coconut oil, Changing is diet, Aloevera, clay and have not had any decrease in the number of seizures. I am happy to try your suggestions I really don't want to put him on prescription meds that might not work but will effect his liver. Thank you again ; )

Do you think any of these supplements would help a dog that sustained a tbi and is now diagnosed with epilepsy? Of course I'm going to be talking to my home vet but just trying to gather information while I wait.

What is MCT oil? Does it the same as coconut oil?

Please answer me this do you think I should take my dog of levetiracetam ? Have you heard of that drug causing problems?

Hi Dr. Andrew, Great video. I have a question. Our 3 year old Huskie starting having cruster secures 2 months ago. We took him to vet and gave them some IV medication and went home with Zonisamide to take twice daily and LevETIRAAcetam for next 24 hours until no seizures. It worked. We decided to reduce Zonisamide to once daily to see if we could ease him out of medicine. It worked for three weeks and he had two seizures and we started giving him LevETIRAAcetam to help. It helped a little as he is not having full seizures but is having one an hour standing up where he open and closes his mouth while foaming, Last about 20 sec. But is having them every hour. Is he stuck taking medicine for his whole live or do you think these natural remedies that you recommend would be better than the medicine? Thank you.

👍

What are the dishes of these for a 5 pound dog?

Can I give phenobarbital and mct together?
