SEIZURES AND EPILEPSY IN DOGS

Dogs can have Epilepsy, just as humans can. Fortunately, there is treatment available for Canine Epilepsy, and Epilepsy in dogs is Not a death sentence!  

My good friend, author Dorothy Wills-Raftery became an expert on Epilepsy in dogs after her beautiful Husky, Gibson, was diagnosed at the age of three. She and Gibson had many wonderful years together, filled with love, adventure, and community. 

Today I have the pleasure of turning the blog over to Dorothy so she can share the experience of living with her Epi-dog Gibson and dealing with his illness, which she did brilliantly. She turned her experience with Gibson's Epilepsy into an opportunity to educate dog parents about Dogs with Epilepsy, and show them that life with an Epi-dog can still be filled with love and adventures!  Take it away, Dorothy!!

Seizures and Epilepsy in Dogs

November is Epilepsy Awareness Month, and dogs can have seizures, too. My heart dog, Gibson, had his first seizure shortly after his third birthday in 2009. It was one of the most frightening experiences I have ever witnessed with one of my dogs. I did not know what happened and, at the time, I never saw a person or dog have a seizure, nor was there much information available about seizures in dogs.

Great Christmas Gift Ideas

Another of my favorite gifts for Dogs and their people is The Gift of Good Health for dogs!  

These products are important for dog health, especially as our dogs age.  We want them to stay healthy so they can be with us for as long as possible. Here are a few of my picks for dog products that can benefit a dog's health.

Salmon Oil or Fish Oil 

With Omega 3 and Omega 6 fatty acids, fish oils can improve dogs Immune, Heart, Brain and joint function, as well as skin condition. I give my dogs salmon oil daily. 

Probiotics for Dogs 

Dog probiotics can help keep the bacteria in your dog's gut healthy. I add probiotics to my senior dog's food daily.

Joint Health supplements 

Joint health supplements for dogs usually contain Glucosamine and Chondroitin, which is especially helpful for senior dogs. My dog Icy is 14 years old and arthritis is setting in, so I give her a daily joint health supplement that relieves her hip and joint stiffness.

Pet First Aid Kit

A first aid kit for dogs is a great dog safety tool at home and while traveling. I road trip with my dogs a lot, so a first aid kit for pets is a must! It's a great gift for any pet parent, especially if they're traveling for the holidays. 

Joint supplements for dogs and pet first aid kit

Having a healthy dog is priceless! A gift basket with a few essential dog health items is a great gift idea for the holidays for any dog parent.
