Hunter's having seizures

[EliNHunter]

Thanks again, everybody. At least I'm thankful when he has one, they are VERY mild. My poor Mom (bubbatd) had to live through HORRIBLE ones with Eli's mother, I.B. -- she had a brain tumor and had TERRIBLE convulsions that would last forever and she'd lose control of bowels and bladder. The poor girl was going slowly crazy. Would bite the coffee table and just latch on and not let go. Would stand there staring at a wall not knowing what she was doing. Finally had to put her down to put her out of her misery. She was such a sweety. I'll find a pic of her (memories)...

Epilepsy and Diet

Hi EliNHunter,

I'm sorry to hear about Hunter's seizures. I hope I can be of some help.

I just posted a thread on this forum that is part of what has become my life's work (and mission). First of all, let me assure you that this is totally on the up and up and there is nothing hidden here...nothing to buy, no consultation fees, nothing unsafe, and nothing that you should not be able to completely understand. I am simply in the process of sharing the results of an elimination diet that I have developed that has brought remarkable results in dogs (and people) with epilepsy.

Here is a thread of testimonials that is an ongoing project:

Please try to wade through the thread called Epilepsy and Diet. I know that there is a lot of medical terminology in that paper but I think you will understand it, at least gleaning enough info to get the gist of things.

The diets that I recommend immediate transition to are the potato-based diets from IVD (Innovative Veterinary Diets, now marketed through Royal Canin and sold through vets) or the Dick Van Patten Duck and potato diets sold through select pet shops. These are phenomenal diets that have been very successful in helping control seizures, allergies, chronic intestinal probelms, and more. You will understand why before long.

Please feel free to Email me at [email protected] if you have any questions. Once again, my services are FREE and there is NEVER anything to buy. I do NO advertising on my Website (below) and it is there for the sole purpose of helping people understand how and why we are seeing so many medical problems in this day and age.

I hope this helps,
John

Amy,
Love and prayers are coming to you and Hunter. He looks like one of those dogs that I would just run up to and hug til he wouldn't let me anymore. I have seen dogs seize and it isn't pretty. I know this is hard for you, but you are a strong woman and I have faith that you can get through this. Hunter will be ok. He has you and Grammy after all!
