Seizing the Moment
It may look like your pet is just staring off into space for a few minutes or it could fall to the ground, flail with its legs, vocalize, urinate and defecate. You feel so helpless. You think your pet could be dying. What could have caused this? Did your neighbor poison your pet? Is it time to consider euthanasia? Your pet may be having a seizure, and my guest Dr. Kelley Vurik, a board-certified veterinary neurologist and neurosurgeon at Veterinary Neurology Center in Southern California will help to demystify what you're seeing. She's going to chat with me today about the possible causes, treatments and outcomes for these frightening displays of neurological activity.
