I'm just after some information really. My 4yr old Great Dane had a fit this morning. I am epilepsy trained for humans as part of my job, so hopefully I dealt with it well.
It lasted just over a minute, but the worrying part was the prolonged post-ictal reaction - he was blind for about twenty minutes and then incredibly aggressive and wouldn't let me into the house for over an hour and a half.
He's calm now and asleep beside me, and is going to the vets this afternoon once he's completely settled. I'm just wondering if anyone has any experience of epilepsy in dogs? He hasn't had a virus, come into contact with any chemicals or overheated as far as I'm aware, and was completely normal prior to the episode.
He's very sleepy and has a tummy full of honey water at the moment. Poor puppy!
