I'm not talking medicines or veterinary examinations here, I'm talking about the physical act of protecting a dog during a fit and in the immediate aftermath. Contacting your vet is the very first thing to do once that first fit passes. Once medication is prescribed you vet will keep in constant contact and often the fits can be solved or reduced in frequency and ferocity. For some dogs, however, the problem is permanent, but not always life-threatening, and you will learn to cope and help your dog during and after the fit. I'm not a veterinary surgeon or a medical expert, but I am an expert of sorts on canine fits, if only because I've been through the experience twice, first with a ten year old Boxer called Barnaby; then Gregory, also a Boxer, and just 18 months old when his first fit occurred. Despite long and exhaustive checks, no cause was found for either dog's condition. Barnaby was old and growing frail and fits were another part of the ageing process. Daily medicines kept his fits under control and usually several months apart. Once Barnaby died, of old age, I expected never to encounter dog seizures again. I was very wrong. Gregory's problem began less than six months after Barnaby died but these later fits were very different; they were regular, and violent, and extremely debilitating. Three things I learned helped me stay calm while my dog is fitting, making me better able to care for him. 1) From talking to humans who take seizures I understand the sufferer feels no pain during a fit, only confusion and helplessness. That's comforting and helps reduce worry and panic for dog owners. 2) Except where some life-threatening condition exists, there' no need for seizures to spoil quality of life or shorten life expectancy and I have spoken to people whose dogs have lived long and happy lives despite regular fitting.
