212 Initially we tried the raw diet and saw a reduc tion in seizures however she was diagnosed as having diffic ulty absorbing this food (diarrhoea and weight loss). We put her onto a dog food c alled Earthborn Primitive and saw again a huge reduc tion in seizures but skin allergies (itc hiness and hot spots). We were then instruc ted by our vet to put her onto Royal Canin presc ription diet obesity management ( it was hoped this would help her feel full). We saw an explosion in seizures during this time(up to 4 seizures a week) and 3 weeks ago I put her bac k on earthborn primitive and have not had a seizure sinc e although skin allergies have returned. Will be trying other food by the same manufac turer (earthborn) Barf diet no He c an't have any treats, espec ially restric t him with eating anything other than his kibble, if he does get his paws on something he does seizure within around 6 hours Wheat free We notic ed that she seemed to have more seizures when on a diet that had some grains in it (healthy grains, but grains nonetheless). We put her on Canine Caviar grain free and do not give her grains of any kind in her treats or c anned food. Raw feed Green beans and organic dog food grainfree dry food.

Q10 Is there anything about Canine Epilepsy that you would like to know about that you have not already discussed with your vet or neurologist, or educated yourself about from a reputable Canine Epilepsy resource site?
# 1 2 3
Responses just feel that I don't know anything and wish I knew more about all of it no Have in the past felt very isolated as don't know any forums etc , but now there is more information on the web. No. We've been going through this for eight years. We read and talked about just about everything. not at this stage no not really always looking for more information/ researc h no, but the frustration of idiopathic epilepsy is truly heartbreaking it appears my girl and her sister have inherited epilepsy as we have now been told their mothers sister & grandmother died of it, our girls mother has had another litter sinc e our girls were born but with a different sire, what are the c hanc es of the 8 pups having epilepsy? do both parents have to be c arriers? I'm not quite sure how it works :-/ Is it nec essary to take your dog to a neurologist ? I would like an easy homemade diet to feel my dog . Just like to know as muc h info as possible Everything, I really don't understand c ause,triggers,anything else that would help him I spend an inordinate amount of time researc hing and trying to learn how to help my little guy. Suc h a horrible c ondition. It's been over 5 years, not muc h I don't know about! no no, exc ept maybe more info on helping the ataxia when the meds c annot be lowered. no yeah, why hasn't there been more c linic al studies done with dogs to find better meds, the dosage protoc ols for eac h med. and a better c ure than just c hanging the length of time between seizure's. any ongoing researc h projec ts no c onstantly learning No no Not really. No. I am an avid researc her/reader sinc e this has made an appearanc e in our lives. Information is invaluable!

27 how to better deal with the anxiety and worry of the next seizure and if he will c luster and never rec over..or I won't be home if and when he does no No alternatives to meds No - the resourc e sites, email groups and my vet have helped tremendously Not that I c an think of. We've been dealing with this for a long time now. I'm sure something will c ome up, though. It always does. We are always looking for new info Is there any proof that tidal/moon events c ause seizure related ac tivity? would like to understand foc al or partial seizures better and/or other behaviors that might be neurologic ally based (e.g., exc essive lic king, fac e pawing, etc .) What is the life expec tanc y of a dog who has c luster seizures that are not fully c ontrolled with medic ations? Why? We all want to know Why or kids have to suffer like this!! Hopefully they will figure it out sooner than later!! Cooling beds What the effec ts of long term medic ine c an have on Jr he is only 4 yrs old If a different diet really works no no Yes everything no No At home seditives. My girl has c lusters and I have read some info about some people having valuim supositories on hand. I am wondering if I should also. Yes, I would like researc h into medic al marijuana for K9s as it has been extremely benefic ial in people with epilepsy. YES- THE DIFFERENCES BETWEEN THE INDIVIDUAL PETS- HOW DIFFERENT DOGS REACT ETC DIETS Can't think of any at moment. Spec ialty diets and natural aids no Why c an't a c ollar be developed to alert when a seizure is c oming or has happened, for the parents who have to work? He is on keppra and phenobarbital Any way we c an give keppra 2x a day rather than 3 Im interested in holistic medic ation to get away from c linic al c hemic als. Would like to know more about the history of his pedigree and the epilepsy in it. I have found questions that my veterinarian doesn't answer c an be found on the epi list. It is wonderful the way people share, ask and answer questions. Not that I c an think of no Not Really - but the Groups have been Very Informative!!! not really. 11/22/2013 12:20 PM

61 I love hearing c ase studies and any new info/medic ations/therapies. We tried so many different things when he was first diagnosed (5 years ago) but then just sort of fell into our routine and had 2 babies so didn't keep up on things as muc h. No not at this time not until something new rears its ugly head Not at this time no Would like more info on the less c ommonly used anti-epileptic s- espec ially as mono therapies or first line treatments. For example Lyric a... No. Would love to know if a c ure is ac tually possible I dont think I will ever know everything about the disease, eac h seizure or set of c lusters bring along new questions. No Gold bead implants. Seems a new thing and not muc h info out there about this. My vet only just rec ently brought it up to us. No No. We are new to this so we have LOTS to learn Helpful weight loss tips for epis who SERIOUSLY stress out on leashes (she's a resc ue). Safe ways to sedate a medic ated epi on long c ar trips. Side effec ts from seizures I always want to know more information.` No No We live in a rural area and although our vet is great she sometimes tends to be more for basic needs. Love more info in the lines of holistic therapies, nutritional needs, long term reperc ussions of treatments, and notic ed diffic ulties with house breaking....she has more trouble when her seizures are worse.... What c auses the seizures bec ause they randomly happen with no warning I feel like people have a different view on what a c luster is and I would like c larific ation. Also what exac tly is refrac tory epilepsy? Would like to know why my dog has seizures only when he has slept or is woken up and then has seizures. Would like to know about any c urrent c anine studies being done related to seizures and fac tors impac ting seizure triggers & frequenc y. I have notic ed my dog,starts getting c lingy right before having a seizure No upc oming researc h and new treatments It's a learning proc ess so any value able info is apprec iated Information about non-mainstream therapies is always interesting Not at this time No Yes, and therefore I have started to study molec ular biology. I want to understand the mec hanisms in the body. What triggers seizures? 10/28/2013 12:40 PM

94 95 96 97 98 Just new medic ines and thoughts on reduc ing the total meds he takes. How does this effec t life expec tanc ies. I am always interested in learning more about c anine epilepsy. No Adopted Louie in Marc h with the knowledge he did have Epilepsy - Have a wonderful vet. I am still trying to figure out the triggers (if there are any) - He is a young dog...around 2 - Any help with what to look for would be greatly apprec iated. no No no l google what l want to know Latest medic ation and treatments for epilepsy. Trying to find out if there is anything that c ould possibly trigger the seizures Severe fatal epilepsy Other people's support and information The effec ts (or lac k of) of diet on epilepsy, esp raw vs high quality kibble vs low quality kibble no One plac e with informed and ac c urate info, balanc ed views no sc are stories and hope through c onnec tion. When we get a c ure!! Dixie Dew Drops Why they c an't find the DNA marker No, I have pretty pleased with how the Phenobarbital has worked on my dog. He has been on it for at least 8 yrs. why is it so hard to get a vet to do tests for a possible c ause of seizures, mine all just wanted to say give phenobarb but we went on to neuro anyway and learned a lot Nothing in partic ular no What other remedies etc c an help? My dog already lost the battle 7 months ago, but i would have wanted to know more about hollistic treatments and diets that would help Not at the moment the page members have been an exc ellent resourc e in educ ating myself and eac h other. (hope Gibson is well) Would like to know if pain c ould be a trigger. no No. My Vet is an expert on c anine epilepsy and being epileptic himself takes a great interest in my dog and her treatment. Natural but inexpensive treatment options No. Apprec iate the help from those on epi sites and just the knowledge we are not alone in both our worry and love of our pets. Tough question. Now that my work c olleague's baby was diagnosed (first seizure hours after birth), the Epil k-9 site has provided lots of help for her as well. You need a support group and a team of (hopefully) great vets willing to try new things. No No thank you. no, I know more about it than most vets I have talked to No 10/27/2013 7:27 PM 10/27/2013 7:14 PM 10/27/2013 7:02 PM 10/27/2013 6:45 PM 10/27/2013 6:41 PM

127 I try to read about everything and anything I c an find pertaining K9 epilepsy. I haven't found anything spec ific (brand names etc .) when it c omes to the best diet. I'm very interested in holistic supplements to help her with restlessness after seizure, possible organ damage from meds, overall things that enhanc e her life quality. no no No Not at this time. Was nor prepared for the Ataxia from the Phenobarbitol. She is getting better but slowly. Hoping it still c ontinues to improve over time. No No no my dog used to have it every 30, 60, even 90 days without it, he was more likely born with it, as he had it sinc e 13weeks of age, when we brought him home, so probably before as well... then he had a nasty ac c ident and suffered heavy c onc ussion, during his rec overy he went 3 months with out it, time when he was on steroids, and then every 21 days, and if we have visitors in the house for more than week, he has it every 14 days,now he is every 21-26 days. also he started with one fit, then later as he grew older he was getting 6-7 fits in 24-30 hours period, after ac c ident we started to medic ate him, and after a year when i inc reased his phenobarbital dose, he has 1-3 fits in an hour, and its over, and next day is hyperac tive. i wonder if the steroids would help him to get rid of it, or not, and also how to know what meds is right for him and if we should switc h it to different meds. No No. no what else c an be done to prevent seizures. Our neuro told me (again), its going to happen, love him, have fun with your dog, keep c alm. Natural treatment or supplements that might suc c essfully reduc e the inc idenc e of seizures. More c lear understanding if why seizures oc c ur what spec ific ally happens in the brain. Understanding how and why stress may trigger a seizure in a dog with idiopathic epilepsy. No. My vvet is great. The list is WONDERFUL. Lots of resourc es out there:-) Na Updates How to find the trigger No No Not sure not really as all are so different No Mo No Always willing to learn more. Curious about the gold ball surgery. not yet As my epi is getting older, I'd like to inquire about doing an autopsy on him for researc h purposes. If looking at an epi's brain, organs and c ombining that info with seizure history and medic ations helps us learn about epilepsy, I'd definitely go for it when the time c ame. Its a diffic ult dec ision to make (and hard c onversation to have) but I'd do anything to fight this horrible disease. 10/27/2013 1:41 PM

157 158 No The last 2 years of her life, our husky was seizure free. We absolutely didn't waiver on medic ation sc hedule and kept a very stable routine to minimize her stress. If we left for vac ation (whic h was rare!) we paid friends to stay at our house versus boarding in a kennel so she wouldn't have any anxiety from being kenneled in strange surroundings. She also had hip dysplasia, so walks were kept short, whic h again seemed to help her with not being 'overly exhausted' whic h c ould trigger a seizure. She absolutely loved the bathtub filled with c ool water and would hop in and lay down in the water - we would hold a hand beneath her c hin and pet her and she would nearly fall asleep. :) no are diagnosis c ame when he was 7.5 years.. he had never been exposed to toxins. it just c ame out of the blue in February of 2012. it seem to have hit every 17 to 18 days, having 3-4 c lusters. Oc tober 2012 he had lost mobility for several days, Marc h of 2013 he had 8 with an 11 hours that was the day I let him rest, my question is why would a healthy ac tive dog all of a sudden develop this issue? Can't think of anything at this moment. No Not at this time. No I'm sure we would all like to understand how our babes get it in the first plac e whic h is the great unanswered question :( Why it is so hard to regulate idiopathic epilepsy in dogs? More c ase histories No We would love to no as muc h as we c an about epilepsy bec ause it suc h a nasty illness. Not c urrently No Not at the moment. ? I would like to know more about things like diet and moon effec ts for example over 90% of my dogs seizures happen 3 days before or after the full moon. Also would love to share and maybe see other people seizure management plans. no - the group keeps me informed It's an ongoing learning experienc e How many rec ital valiums c an be applied in one seizure and 24 hours? It seems like the more that is known about epilepsy, the more we realize how little is ac tually known. What I want to know, there just isn't an answer: I want to know exac tly what c auses idiopathic epilepsy (beyond a brain malfunc tion - "why does it malfunc tion; what c auses it?) And I want to know how to c ure it. Not just manage it, but how to get the brain to heal and/or to func tion like a normal brain with a normal seizure threshold so medic ation is no longer needed. *sigh* Wishful thinking, I am sure. My vet has little knowledge and c an't answer questions on better drugs to use for c lusters Bo Supplements or herbs/etc to work with traditional meds. no No. No I have found all the answer I needed online exc ept when will there be a c ure! 10/27/2013 7:25 AM 10/27/2013 7:14 AM
