and seizures in dogs. He discusses the causes and how it is mainly genetic but can be brought on by other complications in the body such as liver damage. He also discusses what happens during a typical seizure, as well as before
and after. Despite how hard it is for us to watch a dog have a seizure, it actually is not painful for them, although they may feel anxious and confused. Furthermore, the article discusses the possibility of identifying the cause of the seizure and how we might go about treating it.
