"Hello, my name is Dr. James Dee. I'm with Hollywood Animal Hospital in Hollywood, Florida. A seizure in a dog can be devastating if it's your pet. Now seizure can be set on by a number of things. It could be idiopathic epilepsy. It could be related to a showering of blood clots, which is in a stroke. It could be related to toxins. It could be related to other infectious disease. The seizure could be anything from an extremely short, what they would call a petite maul seizure, where you barely have blinking or staggering to as serious as a full blown static epileptic, where you have the front legs going out straight, the head going back, the teeth clenching and loss of urine or stool control."
