Should You Treat a Dog After Just One Seizure? (Ep. 127) - a podcast by Dr Alex Avery

If your dog has had one or more seizures and has been diagnosed with epilepsy, one of the first decisions you will have to make is when should you start treatment for epilepsy in dogs.

The aim of epilepsy treatment in dogs is to reduce their frequency and severity, not prevent all seizures. All drugs also have the risks of side-effects and cost money to give and then monitor. As a result the decision to start treatment is based on a risk-benefit analysis.

This episode though discusses the general guidelines every owner of a newly diagnosed epileptic dog should consider.
