@021 The samples wouldn't last long or be reliable if stored in the fridge. They need to be frozen and stored in a freezer (you could use the freezer section of your small fridge as long as it doesn't have food in it). Once frozen and if left untouched, they can last for up to a year. If used/touched, they can last for up to 3 training sessions of 5 minutes each - as long as they are frozen again after each use and if no food residue/other smells are left on them.
Unfortunately not for seizures specifically, but the overall training steps and process should be fairly similar to migraine scent training, as long as you adjust to your specific seizure needs! For instance, instead of being able to collect the scent sample yourself, you might need the help of someone else to collect it for you at the beginning of an episode. Hope this helps!
When it comes time to do a training session, do you open the ziploc bag for the dog to sniff it or do you keep it closed since they can likely smell it through the bag?
Hi Sarah! Thanks for your comment. You should either hold the sample in your hand or use a tin. I cover it in more details in this video: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-cn7mnjykqPA.html&ab_channel=Pawsitive%26Pawsome . Hope this helps!
