Seizures in Small Poodle, 8 years old?
Peanut was rescued off the streets & was not sought after by owners in the Lost & Found. He has seizures, lasting under 1 minute & is fine, before & after, but some does effect his hind quarters for a few seconds. The VET was of NO help. He eats Beef Liver & boiled Chicken; the same as ole Rufus, who will be 15 next month & is doing fine. I've owned several toy & miniature poodles, & none of them has ever had seizures. So, this is a new one for me. I've tried changing the food & also cut out the Revolution , to see if it was the cause; but he still has them. Any Input from anyone about this?

Some pets who are prone to seizures can get medication for that. If they're grand mal seizures that can happen on a regular basis you'll want them to be controlled or something. I had an older cat who got seizures and the vet put her on phenobarbital to control them. Just a little pill in the morning and in the evening and she took it like a champ in her food.

Poodles are prone to epileptic siezures because of centuries of in-breeding to keep the bloodlines pure. Your vet should have known this. Find another vet. Good luck.
