B725 Posted July 7, 2020 Report Share Posted July 7, 2020 With my dog having the possible early stages of epilepsy and having done a fair chunk reading I have changed his diet over a few days to a mixture of gluten free kibble and raw minced turkey. So far he scoffs it down and what comes out the back end has been reduced by at least 50% and a lot firmer, I hope and prey its going to help the little fella.

JDog Posted July 7, 2020 Report Share Posted July 7, 2020 There is no question that you care a great deal for your dog and you will do whatever it takes to get on top of the condition. It may not be relevant but my Border terrier had seizures and fits in his second and third years, about three times per year. All I did during these episodes was to wrap him up in my arms until the problem passed. From his fourth year onwards he never had any more problems of this nature.

washerboy Posted July 7, 2020 Report Share Posted July 7, 2020 My plummer terrier had them the last month of his life, then one big stroke and I had to have him out put to sleep. He wasn't the only plummer terrier I had that had fits, not good. Main reason I wouldn't keep enough Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B725 Posted July 7, 2020 Author Report Share Posted July 7, 2020 The vet's are very confident if he has anymore that it can be controlled I will do whateveris required. I have had lot's of positive reports of other dog's that had it and had a really good life. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

B725 Posted August 1, 2020 Author Report Share Posted August 1, 2020 Yesterday little Stan was back at the vet's for a check up its now a month since the last fit and I was discussing his new diet. The vet said they don't agree with a total raw food diet as the dog dosnt get all it needs from it. Not sure how animal's in the wild fair as there's no kibble for them out there. Anyhow looking how Stan is they said there's a possibility that he may not have any more episodes so for the time being I will hang onto that as I like to think I'm optimistic.

B725 Posted August 4, 2020 Author Report Share Posted August 4, 2020 The turkey contains 25% bone the supplier also has beef and turkey mixed,beef and lamb. He has had the beef and turkey mix he also scoffed that. You are correct that he drinks a lot less. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
