Qualey recently went 88 days without a seizure. That's the longest she's ever made it. We're so pleased.

For any of you watching this: I have an epileptic giant dog. It’s terrifying. But as long as I’m there to comfort him he’s always ok. I have emergency medication for him in case of a bad episode and his regular pills really help, he hasn’t had a seizure in almost six months.

Poor baby, this breaks my heart😢. They need epilepsy meds for animals. Seizures can be painful and innocent animals should not have to suffer like this. I want to just hold her in my arms. You are strong people for having to watch this poor animal suffer.

My elderly and blind shihpoo has been diagnosed with Epilepsy since the middle of the year. Just as you described it, it has been a rollercoaster. Just last week he had three seizures in a row- that’s with medication. I had a panic attack that night. It’s been really hard to deal with. Thank you for making this video. Makes me feel like I’m not alone in the fight.

These angels shouldnt suffer 😭😭

Thank you for posting this it eases me and my family knowing we are not the only ones who go through this with their dog. Our dog petey is epileptic he’s been in and out of episodes for the past 12 hours. It’s very hard but we want the best for him and love him very much. So that is all we can do.

You and your wife handle your beautiful dog really well, calm and supporting. God bless you all.

I just cried out to my Lord Jesus and pray

❤️ bless your sweet girl. I too have a dog that suffers seizures, out of the blue she had 2 in a 15 hour period. It is scary and sad to watch and breaks our heart. I send prayers and thoughts to your family as I understand, I am getting cbd oil in an hour for her to try. The vet visit is this afternoon. Best wishes to her and I'm sorry she had to go through this. It has been the most stressful 24 hours ever. I understand . 😔❤️

Thanks for posting this. I came here in search of answers. My lab terrier is 3 yrs old and has been having seizures lately , every 3 weeks for 30 mins long. Not as much convulsions as your dog, more trembling and shaking. On the fence about giving him meds tho.. this was helpful and I had tears in my eyes watching your dog on the beach.

That was extremely hard for me to watch. Broke my heart and brought tears for her. :(

I have a dog that has seizures and it breaks my heart every time it happens it's like watching my dog die and it's painful real painful. he started having them when he was 3 he is now 6 and on medication "epiphen 30mg" 1 every 12 hours and its helped. I wish you and Qualey all the best mate.

My dog has epilepsy too. :/ But at least dogs after getting epilepsy still stay alive and after it they feel normal and they play with other dog's. :)

Thank you for sharing. My dog (Bikkel) has been diagnosed with epileptism too. He had his first seisure last week and I was, well, in panic to say the least. The sound he made! I felt so sorry for him, i thought he was in incredible pain… But no, its this. He wont get his drivers-license now, but thank God he will be my best friend for years to come.

Thanks for posting this. Beautiful dog and wonderful parents.

Definitely a hard situation... Thank you for sharing your story.

The way she walks is just👁👄👁✨❤️

You guys do an amazing job im sure she is so happy to have you with her on this moments ❤️

Thank you so much for sharing your story. My dog has her first seizure yesterday, scared me to death. But it's encouraging to see that owners and their epileptic dogs can still have a great life together!

Thank from my heart. I know it wasn't easy making this video but you have helped so many people.

Glad she has a loving home with a great owner!!

Vince I am so glad she has you. I completely identify with your situation having a young 4 year old beagle of my own who suffers from idiopathic seizures.

thank you for your excellent video, loving advice, wonderful music, exactly what we are going through.

Thank you so much for posting this. She’s such a beautiful pup and you look after her so well. We also have an epileptic dog, I came across your video whilst researching. It was really good to know that we are struggling with something that is actually not completely abnormal.. if you know what I mean. Like we aren’t the only ones. Thank you!

My Mountain Cur had epilepsy, and you're right, it was such an emotional roller coaster. Unfortunately he went into status epilepticus a few years ago and after several hours of trying (and failing) to bring him out of it, it was decided that it would be best to put him down. He was such a great, happy dog when he wasn't having a seizure, though, and I'm glad that Qualey has such good parents to look after her. This is honestly the best video about canine epilepsy I've seen.

Thank you 🙏🏽 for sharing, I came here for answers, we are dealing with a beautiful German shepherd puppy 18 weeks now , he gets at least 2-6 seizures a day, he is now on medication we are praying he out grows then. Your video gave another perspective. Love and patience. Thank you

Our golden retriever is 4 and just started having seizures. This is warming to know that your beautiful pup is normal in between seizures. We have meds for him, but I don't want to keep increasing meds. He has had two short ones just today so went online to see what we can do and found your video. Thank you for sharing.

I have an epileptic dog too. I was thinking of making a video for other owners who are going through the same thing. Glad to see your video. It makes me realize my dog and I aren’t the only ones going though this.

Thank you for posting this video of your beautiful, precious and adorable dog, Qualey and for sharing your journey with us

I wish I could give Qualey a big hug. I know it is so heart breaking to see them go through seizures every now and then. I wish I could do some sort of magic to stop it. I have cried every time I see my lab go through it. 😭

I have an epileptic dog and the last time he experienced seizure was last month. He usually had his seizure if it is month of January. The first time that he seizures is also on year January 2020. My dog didn't take any meds for his epilepsy but the veterinarian prescribe a vitamin for human for his nerves. And now, I am really glad that he only had his seizures for just 1 week.

Thank you so much for sharing your experience with Qualey. My 5 year old Cocker Spaniel Scout has started having seizures, it is absolutely terrifying. When she had her first seizure we thought we were losing her, she wasn't breathing! She has now had 7 seizures in just a few weeks. They mostly happen at night when she is sleeping, she has only had 1 while out a walk and like Qualey it can take her about 2 hours to settle down again. We have a neurologist appointment at the end of this month. I am worried about the potential side effects of anti seizure medication but equally worried about the effect the seizures are having on her. It absolutely breaks my heart 💔

It's possibile feel so much love in every words you said

This makes me feel like I got really lucky with my epileptic pup because she only has a seizure every couple months, and once the seizure is over, she’s right back to acting like herself. I’m really happy that things have gotten better for you guys, and that qualey is so obviously loved!

I can tell you that it is heartbreaking. Utterly heartbreaking to have a dog with seizures. It is an endless torture and it takes a special bond to make it. Status epilepticus is an even worse horror show that I wish on no dog owner.

My dog is 6 y old, yorkshire and she was just diagnosed with epilepsy. We took her to the vet and now she is on a medicine called Gardenal based on Phenobarbital, used to calm her nerves. It s working so far. Just 2 Very small seisures so far just like a spam. Doctor recommened we give her the 8 part of a pill 2 times a day. Now She is becoming stronger day by day. I love how you take care of her. Wishing you health and strenght.

Thanks so very much ❤️😘 for posting this hun Has really helped us determine what's happening with our girl mazie x Hope your baby is ok glad she hasn't had any problems for a while .. God bless 🙏

Thankyou for putting up this video we are new at this with our little chihuahua the vet is still getting her meds regulated so far she has had one everyday sometimes a few a day it's so hard watching her go through this. Again thankyou so much for this video

My own puggle has epilepsy as well, she’s perfect until her seizures then it’s exactly like Qualey tough going for her and our family but hey ho she’s brilliant and we love her, cheers from Ireland 🇮🇪

Our 5 year old lab started having seizures 2 weeks after we adopted her from a veterinary college. Don't know if she ever had them before. It's so difficult to live with, and very worrisome. Medication has helped, for sure, but the future is so uncertain. Thank you for sharing. We don't feel so alone now.

Thank you

I have a dog that has epilepsy and does the exact same thing after a fit,its heartbreaking to see them go through this.

Hi guys , New at tour Channel and lots to learn for sure ! Thank you for sharing with the world about your girl , I just discovered my dogs has electric episodes , and I been terrified

Thank you so much for posting this video. My thirteen and a half year old Scottie Max had a seizure the other night for the first time. I was so terrified he has going to die. It came totally out of the blue whilst he was asleep. It lasted no more than 5 minutes but he was so confused afterwards and it took about 90 minutes before he calmed down. I visited he vet with him the next day who said it was very likely an epileptic seizure. After speaking with him I felt reassured in the event it should ever happen again. I have never owned a dog before which had a seizure and this is my first experience of witnessing one too. Your film has certainly helped me to get a better understanding and I hope if Max has another seizure I shall be able to deal with it in a more calmly manner than the other night when I was gripped with absolute terror and fear he was going to die. Thank you again.

Ah bless her my dog Vinnie started having fits a couple of years ago. He usually has 1 but yesterday had 3 in a row but the last one was a year and a month ago

The dog is so beautiful

My dog is a shih tzu and was recently diagnosed with idiopathic epilepsy. We're still at the stage of gauging the amount of phenobarbital for her to take. She gets 2-3 seizures a day and it breaks my heart. Her attacks are so frequent that her recovery time is much slower- she could barely lift her head. Seeing Qualey live a normal, quality life is giving me hope. Thank you for sharing this video.

My dog just started getting seizures recently. My mom’s gonna bring him to the vet and see if he has epilepsy.

Emotional video. My little five month old Border Collie has started having fits. Tonight he had two small ones then a big one. He’s in the vet hospital over night tonight. I realise now he’s had several fits without me knowing in the last month. Breaks your heart.

I know what e goes thru. My toy poodle started having seizures about 3 wks ago. You fell horrible, because there is nothing to do but keep them comfortable and hope they come out of it. Peace

My dog simba has been going through the same thing. Plz pray that she gets better ❤

This can be so heartbreaking :( we have a 5 year-old pug that is epileptic, she started having her crisis in jan/2019, when we started giving her phenobarbital. She went almost 6 months without any problem, then one day it all came back...we had to increase the dose of phenobarbital. She then went about 3 months without any fit, then it all started - again - and she's been having 1 seizure every 4 weeks. This week she had 3 crisis in less than 24h, we rushed to the vet emergency and they gave her levetiracetam to be taken along phenobarbital. This is so hard, I really hope this new medication works for her.

I love you to come forward and show this to people who do not know how epilepsy for dogs works and that you say they can have a good life despite their seizures. I have a dog with epilepsy but not near to as powerful as Qualey's. Take care x

Heart breaking 😢

My golden just started having seizures, hes 3 and such a good boy. My heart is broken

I’m sorry about your 🐕 that she’s 🤒 we love her too and you do too so much love ❤️ hugs kisses and kindness brings so much love 💕 s In your life and and her s too she’s beautiful dogs 🐩 and all god’s angels 😇 god bless you both

Its hard to watch, this poor dog, but thank you for sharing this! Should I like or dislike this video now?

Aww poor baby so lucky to have you two loving her. I have friends in Canada and Nova Scotia who rehome rescue and rehabilitate border collies that are a result of Merle on Merle breeding most suffer from a mixture of blindness deafness and seizures . Rewarding yet heart breaking. I have two Goldies and my husband's guide dog is a lab Goldie cross a loving fun breed.

Bravo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I have an epileptic border collie who happens to be also a working stock dog on our ranch…. He gets Keppra xr 2xdaily and I also have IV benzodiazepine to stop seizures, maybe something you want to talk to your vet about because it works instantly on him and without them he will have 3 to 4 in a row… After a seizure I offer him water because he is usually very thirsty but also disoriented so I placed him on a bed and sit with him until he has his vision and equilibrium back, he doesn’t work stock the rest of the day and takes it easy relaxing in the house against his will of course….. If you are uncomfortable with hitting a vein during a seizure most iv liquids can also be administered Intranasally or rectally for a quick response. Hope this helps, best wishes!!

My 10 year old Golden looked exactly like your Golden. Sunday 11/8/2020, he had his 1st seizure. Monday 11/9/2020 I took him to the vet, and found out he had a cantaloupe size mass on his spleen. While waiting in the car (I hate COVID), he started seizing again and had two of them right away. I felt helpless. His seizures in the car looked exactly like your Golden’s seizure on the beach. I made the very very tough decision, the decision I never wanted to make. Surrounded by all of us (my family and I), we had the vet sedate him until my family arrived, they woke him up, and he was so thirsty that he drank 2 bowl fulls of water, he had a hard time breathing and was panting so heavily, but we got to spend the last few moments together saying our goodbyes with lots of kisses. I miss him so much.

This give my wife Sararose and I hope, We rescued a catahoula mix dog who turned out to have cluster seizures. We've been seeking treatment and don't yet know if anything will help Bella. We are in love with this creature. She brings out the best in us, but she demands a lot of attention and limits our ability to travel. We're hoping that we can get her seizures down from 7 days to a month or more, but don't know if that is possible. Thank you for sharing your experience. Epileptic dogs are a special breed of their own and so are we who care for them. Be well.

It's heartbreaking to see dogs have a seizure. My Hollie (King Charles mix) had 5 yesterday. I've been trying oil since november but yesterday scared me so much for her well being, against my first choice shes now on Zonisamide. Sweet souls don't deserve to go thru this 😞

I hate seeing this poor baby go through this. I truly think it's in the dog foods. I was feeding mine that has rice in a few days bam! I rushed to the vet, he's doing better , but we now have other problems. It never seems to stop😢

My dog walks back and forth without ever coming to a good place. He stumbles and gets scared. if you touch him, sometimes he screams like dogs do when frightened, Recovery times are getting longer. Sometimes i just watch to make sure he is still breathing.

My 4 month old Yorkshire terrier has started to have fits this weekend, it's so scary! Breaks my heart

My 2-year-old collie has been diagnosed with epilepsy, hasn't gone three weeks without a fit so far. They tend to be cluster fits, so he gets a few within a couple hours. It's absolutely horrible seeing your own lovely dog going through it. My dog is so young and normally so playful but his back legs have really taken a hit, though he still loves his walk and runs about mad. The worst thing is to see him so distressed and all the bumping into objects as you've shown, I'm scared to leave him alone for a second.

This is what happens to my boy he’s not even 2 yet, it’s heartbreaking 💔

Mine had this as well. Cooking pork meat and adding coconut oil in the end helped my dog since carbohydrates are bad for them. Also, I try to put him in the dark room as well.

This is my Teddy exactly. Grand mals and it’s horrible. He’s on three meds and cbd with mct oil. It’s awful and terrifying. I cried when I saw this because it’s my boy exactly.

Poor baby... God, help our friends those deserve peace and love - Animals

EXCELLENT VIDEO ON DOG EPILEPSY QUALEY IS A BEAUTIFUL DOG AND LOOKED AFTER SO WELL BY BOTH OF YOU I WISH YOU ALL SOME GOOD LUCK IN THE FUTURE ⚘⚘⚘⚘⚘

Poor soul. Not a good thing. We are experiencing same with our handsome boy Max. Heartbreaking

Recently experienced my first dog seizure. It was frightening. You are essentially helpless. There is nothing that you can do.

Hi, heart breaking video My irish setter has just been diagnosed this week and put on meds.he is nearly 3 and totally healthy till now.Not sure I will cope if his fits become as severe as your beautiful lady.You deserve the best for your love and dedication,.Please don't take this as a criticism but I would worry about her injuring herself when running in the garden in that state or do you always put her on the leash.All the best and thanks for posting theism trying to gather as much info as possible to learn about this awful condition Best wishes Phil.

It's so sad to see an animal suffer. They shouldn't have to go through this. I also suffer with epilepsy.

I know you posted this three years ago so you may not see this. I hope things are good for you now? Our 20 month old English Cocker whom we've had since she was eight weeks old had severe epilepsy. We have since discovered it is all through her father's line. Every seizure feels like a punch to the stomach. You are correct when you say owning an epileptic dog is like being on a roller coaster. We are currently trying to find the best medication for our girl and it's hard. I wish I could just take the disease from her.

Gracias. For adopting, one of us. Even if it's in dog form. (17

Mine was almost out down because he was having unctonrolled seizures. He stabilized the day he was about to put down. Hes now on phenobarbital meds. I love my hamm he gets episodes ones in a while but overall i think hes ok.

i have deep frontal lobe epilepsy and it’s very similar for me. i will go around 4 to 5 weeks without a seizure and then i can have a few in a day. it’s hard to manage studies and all with epilepsy and it’s very hard for my family. my past 2 collies both had epilepsy and although i was young at the time it made it easier for me to go through cause i knew i wasn’t the only one with epilepsy. seizures r so scary to watch and with each one you start to fear the worst- that the person or animal will stop breathing or not wake up. epilepsy has been around forever- it’s time we found a cure

Nice act.

Poor thing. I have a dog suffering from Seizures , but it's probably not epilepsisy. 3 years ago I found a stray and took him to the vet, he was chipped 10years prior but it was never activated, so today I believe he is atleast 13 years old. We put up posters and advertised found dog with his picture but no replies so being animal people we kept him. He was fine for the first year an a half an all of the sudden he had a seizure out of no where. He got blood tested and it came back fine. Then a few months later we had 2 in one day, so the vet put him on Phenobarbital. His seizures were about once a month and he would bounce back pretty quick. After about a year he had 3 in one day two days in a row, that was a few months ago and then 3 half months after that (two days ago) he had 5 two days in a row. His siezures look just like your dogs, very similar. The vet put him on another medication but i forget the name right now. When he had the 6 in two days a couple months ago he was dissorianted for a good 5 days, but after that he was back to normal like nothing ever happend. Now after these 10 in 2 days i hope after a week hes back to normal. It sucks watching a pet or person you love go throgh them, but you gotta stay strong and keep them safe. It's super hard for us being animal lovers, we keep eyes on him 24/7 during the episodes and a few days after, and it's tough we all need sleep. According to our vet tho hes not concerned unless they last for 5 mins or more or he has them a hour apart. Stay strong and relax, were all going to get through this.

my heart is bleeding 😢

Do they make a back up meds for dogs

My saint stood in garden and fitted just like yours in vid .. epilepsy 14 fits in 2 days .. took 5 firemen to lift her to vets .. MRI scan was day after and already on 15 tabs phenobarbital and bromide a day at the maximum and ended up brain damaged from age 7 months old wen first started.. she Couldn't walk in the end .. Died under age of 3 .. her siblings have it too!! Cost me a fortune but it's the nights of pain wen u sleep on the lounge floor next to her cos u know she's gonna fit after so many weeks ( like a monthly thing) many a night on vets floor too.. she was 63.3kg.. she was my life companion.. the breeders don't give a shit and still are breeding!! Nothing I can do .. would I do these past few years again?... yes ... but it takes dedication and I only left her wen I did the school run..( used indoor cctv to monitor her )but luckily I was at home and able to be on stand by. Your a good family and educating people that NEED to understand the WHOLE epilepsy world picture .. cos it isn't for everyone. and that's no disrespect to anyone either .. thanks fir being brave and open and posting .. x

Hi everyone. My dog Grisly also suffers seizures, has been, for the last 2 year. In doing a bit of research I came across Dr. Andrew Jones, a vet, on UKposts, who suggested accupressure, particularly a point or spot between a dog's upper lip and the bottom of his nose...to apply pressure there during a seizure would help shorten or snap the dog out if it. This is a temporary fix....it helps to keep your dog's brain or heart from further damaging itself. Hope you find this helpful.

My 7yr GSx without fail has a seizure or seizures every 2 weeks and for the last year has been on Phenobarb, prior to medication it was every fourth day she would seizure. She was on Valium for 3 months at the start of taking the Phenobarb but weened off. Even though the medication has helped with how often between days it has not really helped with how many seizures she may have at that time as sometimes it maybe be one or two sporatically which is frightening to one time when she had 10 one after the other and always about 3 in the morning. I know some may disagree but ive had her since she was 6wks old and she is an entirely different dog in personality as she does not even like to be outside at any time and prefers to be huddled in a corner where im guessing she feels safe or its comforting and she always loved going to dog parks and playing with other dogs where as now since having epilepsy me and my son took her and noticed a huge change in how she did not even want to interact with any of the dogs and just paced the fence line, its actually quite sad watching her and I personally feel like some damage has been done to her brain

My dogs has fits like the one yours had at the beach. Usually they happen when we're all sleeping in the middle of the night. She ends up looking like your dog when she fell into the water except it's all her own urine. I noticed on some videos most dogs didn't lose bladder or bowel control, mine does all the time and because the attacks are violent she sprays my face, my hands the floors, I always try to rush her to the backyard or put a towel underneath but it's always a mess. She does become disoriented afterwards and bumps and falls and I am sure loses sight too. About a good 5 minutes of wondering around. Then it's clean up time I disinfect the floors, walls, my body and bath her which help her cool bc she pants like she has run miles. Then she either goes back to rest or most likely paces around whining bc she gets hungry. More seizures follow within 24-48 hrs. It sucks and sure is one of the reason of my raccoon eyes.

My dog going on 6 and out of no where he started catching them took him to the vet they checked him out gave him some meds that works really gd.

An innocent animal suffering from this epilispy very bad

I am here because my 15 months young male mastiff started having seizures that last 3-4 minutes. I caught him 4 times. I don' t know how many i missed . I will take him to the vet next week. A workmate told me to put thumb pressures on my dog' s eyes during a seizure. Slide the eyelids down to close the eyes and apply some pressures. It will reboot the nerves and the brain. I did it tonight when my pet was having seizure just at my front door. It worked. Lesser time and he did not have that lingering disorientation. If you want to try this trick, make sure the pet is not the kind that can snap bite you. Goodluck to us all.

BRO that dog must be used to having seizures and yall are so calm about it! For example, the dog starts to have a seizure, it starts to squirm around and stuff and yall hold it down until its done. And then when the dog got done having the seizure, everything went back to normal and acks like nothing happen. Yall must be experts or something and I hope that dog still has a while to go.

What is her vet doing to help control them? Are they giving her a different medication?

We have dog like that yesterday until now he having seizure what medicine you guys given because until now the vet still close

Helloo (: do u give some medicine or like anything else to heal it? Can u tell me about it? My puppy has epilepsy too:( . I don't what i have to do for it. It only 3 weeks old.

Any medications and natural remedies that helped? My puppy is 1 yr 1/2 old and has started seizures which were diagnosed as epilepsy.

Is there a way to know when u buy a puppy if it will have epilepsy?

My dog has epilepsy, so did my other dog which was a German shepherd they both suffered with epilepsy. Pippin which is a border collie Welsh still suffers with them and what we do is put her in a dark room with nothing except walls so she wont get that hurt.

My pups are having symptoms of disorientation, head tilting, loss of coordination..their eyes look weird during their episode. I have an appt tomorrow for bile acid test before they refer me to a neurologist

My dog had to be put down after suffering multiple seizures at night for multiple days. The medication that would stop them would destroy her liver which has already been destroyed from diabetes. She was put down on the 22nd October at 12:30 and I am still truly heartbroken
