Neither my poodle Jock[eplipsey all his life..died at 15} nor by sweet Chi Bambi want to be touched when in seizure. I understand every nerve is alive and they are usually not aware of what is going on areound them then. I just make sure Bambi doesn't hurt herself [this is true for humans too] and let it take it's course. Being restrained is not good when it is happening. Bambi paced after...Jock just wanted to sleep if off. Varies from dog to dog...and person to person. I worked with mentally and physically handicapped for 13 years and saw a lot of them happen. Some dogs and people become incontinate during seizure as well. And I agree with you, Lisa,....don't make a big deal of it. Just protect ehm from themselves and let them go.

I went to a training on Epilepsy (for people) and they talked about how embarassing and confusing and scary (especially if it's their first) seizures can be for the person having them so the last thing they want is an audience staring at them in their worst moments.

Thanks for the advice.Nacho has an appointment with our vet soon and in the meantime I just wanted to hear from other Chi owners wiht the same experiences. I did exactly what you said.I held him and talked to him.It seemed to calm him.

yr. old Chihuahua name Chili Pepper,when she was five
years old she started having sizures,the first one
scared me half to death,the vet put her on
Phenabarbital, and later she had to start taking
potassion bromide along with it,she gets 2 pills a day
and the liquid once a day every morning,she hasn't had
a sizure now in almost a year,the vet did not run any
test,I could not afford them,she put her on that and
she checks her levels once a year.Chili has had up to
8 in one night,but when they have them,you have to
stay calm,pick them up and hold them,talk to them,and
when it passes,put them down,they need to pace,then
give them a couple of teaspoon of sugar water to help
them,its not easy,but Chili lives a normal life,I
watch her close,but she is doing great.I have 8 other
chics also.
