In reply to Barbara. Barbara. can you suggest what has caused your King Doberman to go from Grand Mal seizures to Petit Mal seizures? Where would I find a Canine Nuerologist? I am sorry that King is suffering and hopefully there is some medications that can help him and my Seigmund. Seigmund is a miniature Schnauzer. I tried different dog foods but he seems to do better on fresh cooked chicken, Rice and other vegetables. I keep him well groomed and bathed twice a month. He is my treasure, just as your King is your treasure. What about vitamins?

My beloved miniature Schnauzer is having seizures and he is now experiencing seizures. Yes, it is difficult and alarming to see him going through this. He is 10 years old and first started having seizures last year in 2016. The seizures last approximately 4-6 minutes and then he will slowly respond back to being normal. Our Pet doctor prescribed some medications for him, and he was doing fine for four months. While he was on the medications, he did well and once the medications stopped, the seizures came back. Would like to hear from others how their pets reacted and how they responded. Is there some kind of special food for miniature schnauzers that might help them from having the seizures or vitamins? My heart breaks in to pieces when these totally unexpected seizures happen and I want him to be treated to maybe stopping these seizures but if not, what steps would help or what foods may help and also medications.

King Doberman has gone from Grand Mal Seizures to Petit Mal seizures. So sad to see a Grand Mal, although seizures in general are difficult, this is much better and they are over quicker. He used to have Grand Mal every 8 weeks, now he is having Petit Mals every 3 weeks. He has seen a Canine Nuerologist.

My German shepherd is epileptic.. He usually has grand mal seizures though he’s not had any since the end of October last year.
This morning i was just about to take him out when he just froze and was totally unresponsive (this has happened once before).However,this morning he was trembling too. I’m glad i looked on here,now i know what it was
Incidentally,he takes epiphen,pexion and keppra

I don’t get it… shaking the head or tilting the head are things that the dogs can do naturally, i mean every action can not be considered a sign of a petit mal seizure can it? …

Trembling for example would clearly raise some alarms but is it petit mal seizure or other seizure or something else entirely…

very difficult topic on petit mal seizures for dogs because as you said it differs by breed and also of course depends on the experience of the owner..
