PCOH BEAR  :  PCOH Quarter ex PCOH Myrddyn
Siblings  :     Ebin, Milly, Salome, Seagrass, Solo, St. John
Had a first fit age 1 year followed by a second fit age 18 months.   Being treated with Pexion.          

Update about Otis. Unfortunately in the early hours this morning, we had to make the very difficult decision to put him to sleep. He had been coping really well on a combination of pexion, levitateracetam and epiphen. However, on bonfire night he went into a large cluster of seizures and needed IV medication to bring him out of it. Again, he seemed to do well after this but last night he again went into a horrible cluster of seizures, emergency medication did not stop them, and he eventually ended up having a constant seizure. The vets put him under sedation to stop the seizures and whilst he was asleep and pain free we made the decision to let him go. The damage done to his mental condition after this episode was likely to be life changing due to the severity and length of his seizures and his condition would only worsen, so we felt it was the kindest thing to do to end his suffering.

She was found to have a low thyroid and is on .8mg of soloxine twice daily. Have seen no negative results with either the seizures or meds.

Boravin Vanner (Vanner): As recorded in UK list.
Age of 1st Seizure     19 months
Age at death              21 months
Cause of Death          see other information
Other Information     probable seizures – Vanner started seizuring in probably August of 1987. To be honest, I do not recall actually seeing him seizure, but would crate him while I was gone, and would come back and find him lying in a pool of liquid and he would be woozy and disoriented. He would run into the side of doors coming and going after the episode. He was tested for liver issues and was okay. He had the first seizure, maybe a month later another, another in a shorter time span—a week or two, and another the next day. Our vet has us put him on phenobarbitol. He was not himself—I assumed it was the pheno, but perhaps it was residual from the seizures, he would cry to go outside and cry to come in, not complacent either place. I was going to travel to Texas at the end of October for an extended period of time and did not know what to do, so I just decided to put him to sleep, there were some contributing circumstances for the decision. I had recently moved to Iowa and knew almost no one for a doggy support system. My first two-legged child was born the same month Vanner started seizuring—indeed, I think the people visiting at our house may have kicked Vanner into a stress that started them. The other factor is that Vanner was a basket-case shy if I may put it that way. And he was afraid of my husband—I would be leaving him with Steve. I got Vanner at maybe9 months old? When he arrived from England I, for probably two weeks, had to pull him out of the back of his crate and feed him by hand, almost force feed—he was very distressed. His breeder told me later she would never ship another nervous hound, so he was nervous before he came. Another English breeder thought the flight caused the seizures, panic from the flight?,but Vanner’s sister seizured also, died from them…also the flight over? We had him several months before he started seizuring. Prior to seizures, Vanner would be excited to go places, jump in the car to go, but when we got to the new place, he was afraid to come out of his crate. I would try to take him places, the mall and sit outside where he would tremble and tremble and tremble, to classes where he would start to heel and after a few minutes just vomit from nerves. He was so sweet and so sad to see, so shy—I had just told him he could stay in the back yard from now on. Shortly after, my son Harry was born and we had overnight company for several nights, and the seizures began.
So, they would be described as grand mal as he voided everything and was woozy when I found him? He was medicated briefly, but we needed to work on adjusting medication, and I just hoped to put him 9 down as I was not able to deal with how he was dealing. I put him down in October of 1987.  Poor Vanner.

Age at death               9 years
Cause of Death           stomach cancer
Other Information      grand mal, 2-6 month intervals, medicated – His first one was around 10 months, I thought I was going to lose hi, even though it was focal, with limbs buckling and not able to walk, it went on and on. I got him to the vet where Churchill was given multiple shots of phenobarb before he started to come out of it. Meanwhile his temp had gone way up. Churchill went on to have a seizure every 2 to 6 months until his death at 9 years from stomach cancer. All his seizures were focal. He never lost consciousness but was slightly out of it and always very afraid. He’d try and stand, get half way up only to fall l down with one or two limbs buckling. They usually lasted 1-3 minutes. Churchill was a fearful dot and my vet wanted me to put him down at 1 year as he had some people aggression issues. I think the seizures were a big factor in his fearfulness. I couldn’t bring myself to put him down and kept him safely sequestered. Source, Owner

Howlaway's Pac Man (Gunner): Wag’N Hollow’s Colorado Hometun ex Howl-Away J-N-I’s Alexandra

Age of 1st Seizure       4 years
Age at death               12 years
Cause of Death            died in surgery
Other Information       not clear that his episodes were seizures – Although it was never determined that Gunner’s “episodes” were actually seizures, I’m now thinking it’s possible that they might have been. Our vets eventually thought his symptoms were most likely a pain response to a problem in his back/neck brought on by unusually active days of running and jumping. In retrospect, I suppose it’s also possible that he had more than one problem going on. Although Gunner was never actually diagnosed with seizures, I thought a summary of his symptoms and history should be passed along since you are keeping a record of affected hounds. Regretfully, I didn’t have his blood drawn and submitted because I was under the mistaken impression that the study only applied to dogs with confirmed epilepsy.

1999 – 4 years
Symptoms:

*Weight loss (10 pounds in less than a year)
*Loss of muscle mass, particularly in hindquarters
*Increased thirst
*Brief (30 sec) episodes of stopping to just blankly stare at the floor
*Three episodes of staggering and loss of control of hindquarters (about 10 minutes/episode) First was at three years of age, Second and Third were back to back at 4 years of age
*Periodic brief (couple of seconds) stiffening of right hind leg while standing or walking – seemed to bother him, as he looked back at it and sometimes pressed his nose to the area.
*Times of unusual restlessness and wanting out in the middle of the night.

Tests :
Blood Chemistry – low sodium
ACTH Stimulation – normal, which ruled out Addison’s Disease
UA – normal
ECG – normal

Note :
Gunnar had been severely choked at almost 3 years of age (prior to the above symptoms ) when Havana’s jaw got caught in his collar during one of their play sessions. By the time I got to him, he was bleeding from the nose and his eyes had turned red. The vet said that might have caused a brain injury with subsequent metabolic changes and possibly seizures. Suggested we just keep a close eye on him for the time being.

2000 – 5 years
An episode that started with lack of coordination, salivating, restlessness, and a desire to be comforted. He would try to lay down for a minute, but would then be back up again. After about 10 minutes of this, he vomited, and then his legs just gave out and he went down. He never seemed to lose consciousness, but continued to pant and salivate for another 10 minutes. Eventually he started wagging his tail and was able to get up and move about fairly normally. 


2001 – 6 years
Episode of restlessness, lack of coordination (front and rear), need to be comforted, vomiting and aspiration through his nose (needed antibiotics), staring at floor, hunching back. Vet suggested this was a response to pain – probably a disc in his neck. Put on prednisone for several weeks. Had another episode during treatment, which was mostly just a lack of coordination.

Tests :
Liver Enzymes elevated. ALT-1107, AP-181, AST-high
Cholesterol on high end
Bile Acids Test for liver function – normal to high normal

Over the remaining years of his life, he would periodically have these wobbly episodes, but seemed aware and responsive. When he would lay down, it was obvious that his muscles were contracted (no twitching or paddling) just very tight. Massage seemed to help and within about 10 minutes he would start stretching, his muscles would relax and he would soon be up and back to normal once again. We started noticing that these incidents would be most likely to happen when he had had a particularly active day. As he grew older and was less active, he had fewer episodes. The vets felt they were probably a pain response to a problem in his neck/back.

2007- 12 years
His final, longest and most severe episode of muscle spasms lasted almost half an hour, and the next day he was still somewhat wobbly. Two weeks later he was still dragging his feet a little. Four months later he died during surgery while having several sebaceous cysts removed. Source, Owner

Harper had a seizure in 2021( just shy of being 10 yo) about 6 months later she had another. Over the past two years her seizures have been well spaced out (months apart) until recently. She has had one every 3 or 4 weeks and starting yesterday she has three in the past 24 hours. She is on pheno and I have increased the dosage starting yesterday. If the increased dosage doesn't help I will talk with the vet about Keppra. I'm hoping for the best.

Other Information         not clear yet if her episodes are seizures – River – We haven’t figured out what happened with her yet. She had two episodes of some kind in June and September of 2010. They didn’t resemble any type of seizure I’m familiar with, or had seen, or read about. The closest thing I could find was in the description & video of what they call a “Chinook” episode, or seizure. She was completely conscious and aware and sitting up,. Just her hind legs started drawing up to her body, like a severe muscle spasm. It made her nervous while it was going on, but she didn’t exhibit any pain symptoms, or disorientation. She was completely responsive. After the legs relaxed (1-2 minutes), there were no after effects. I had some initial blood-work done the day of her first episode…normal, except for some minimal irregularities in the thyroid panels (not enough to concern the Vet). I am awaiting word from U of Missouri in response to some questions about these episodes. I will also pursue further testing when I find out what those tests should be. Too new yet to share the full scoop as the jury is still out on what this is exactly. When I find out more, I’ll let you all know. Source, Owner

I also suggested to her the use of daily unflavored gelatin a protocal suggested by Jean Dodds which has shown positive results.

Other Information             grand mal, 1 month intervals – aka Rose, had her first seizure 8/9 at 5 years. Denise took Rose to a neurologist who diagnosed her with idiopathic epilepsy. Rose did test positive for taxoplasmosis, a parasite that can cause neurological problems and was treated with an antibiotic. My understanding of taxoplasmosis is that it is difficult to “cure” and can live in cystic areas in the dog and when these cysts burst it becomes active. Rose has had 5 more seizures since the first, averaging about one per month. They all occur early in the a.m. and last for about 1 minute. They are grand mal and she loses bladder control. Rose is shaky for about ½ hour after the seizure and then returns to her normal self. Denis keeps Valium suppositories on hand but hasn’t had to use them as the seizures are so short. Rose is being treated with Chinese Herbs and is just now up to the recommended dose. She has just started taking Neuroplex, a nutritional supplement that is supposed to help seizures. Rose also goes for acupuncture once a month. Source, Breeder

After many years on Chinese herbs, I took him off and he continued to have 1 seizure every 8-9 months. He did have a subarachnoid cyst that was found at the end, I think it swelled around his 10th birthday – I can remember exactly when his behaviour changed (he acted like he was light sensitive and had a migraine) I don’t think the cyst had anything to do with his seizures, but since I never did an MRI before the end, I don’t know that for sure.

His are grand mal and last about a minute, when he comes out we usually have time to get him out to pee and pooh (neither has let go during a seizure) and get him back in, then the little ones start coming where he glares over and stares wobbling, his toes and body parts twitch and these will just go on and on and on and on unless we give him valium rectally which brings him out and he goes to sleep, he isn’t the same boy I brought home from SC but he still has lots of awesome to go. He is on Phenobarbital 64.8mg 1-1/2 tablets twice a day. It took him awhile to get the dose balanced but he does good now. I make sure he has time to stable out from when he gets his meds to when we practice agility or have a trial. He is also on the soloxine.
Both he and Liv get alot of exercise, Tucker has agility training every week and is entered in several trials this summer, when home they do outside duty during the day until -20 degrees when they then come indoors, they are outside on and off for an hour or so several times a day down to -40 and whenever needed if its colder than that.

Other Information             grand mal, widely spaced, medicated – Keone’s seizures began almost exactly 7 years ago(on the night we returned from Louisville in 2002) when he was just about 4 months shy of his 2nd birthday. All have been Grand Mal seizures which have occurred at widely varying intervals and according to no discernible pattern. It was more than 18 months between his first and his second seizures and he has had 2 episodes of clusters. He was treated holistically for a long time and now is on a daily dose of potassium bromide, not that I can see it’s made any big difference. Last July he had what was evidently a very bad seizure when I was not at home (first time I wasn’t there). Consequent to that, he developed Bells Palsy on the right side of his face ---could not blink his right eye, lip drooped and food fell out, etc. He also showed significant ataxia (balance problems). He has improved somewhat: has weak blink reflex, food doesn’t fall out so much and he is walking somewhat better. Frankly, if there had not been signs of improvement early on, he would have been put down as his quality of life was so compromised. An MRI showed fluid on his brain but, of course, since an MRI had not been done previously, there is no way to know if this was a new condition. While he has improved some, he is 20 showing weakness and loss of muscle on his right side and sadly, he has lost a great deal of the love and life and enjoyment that made him Keone. Sometimes he shows flashes of the old Keone but only briefly. His walks, which were our very favourite thing to do together (and, in his eyes, a close second to his very favourite thing – food) are now something he tolerates rather than enjoys. Source, Owner

Other Information         grand mal, 8-14 day intervals w/o med., medicated – Buck had his first grand-mal seizure at 9.5 months old. Before medication he would have a seizure every 8-14 days. My vet recommended that I take him to a Neurologist. After testing he was diagnosed with idiopathic epilepsy. He was started on potassium bromide initially as it was thought to have less toxicity to the liver. It did not reduce the frequency of his seizures, so Phenobarbital was added as well. That combination did finally reduce the frequency. He gets his blood checked every 6 months to determine the med levels and also to check his liver & kidney functions. At almost 9, so far everything has check out normal. The only side effect seems to he his hind end weakness attributed to the potassium bromide. The early onset and frequency of his seizures, did however eventually cause him to become shy of strangers (strangers being anyone he hadn’t met before onset of seizures) at about 1 year old. The dosages of the meds have been increased periodically over the years. He is now given 4cc’s of KBr 2x’s daily and a total of 430 mg phenobarb (split into 2x’s daily). Although since 2007 he has become prone to cluster seizures (twice leading to an ER visit & hospitalisation), the frequency of his seizures have been greatly reduced. After his first hospitalisation with his most severe case of clusters, he was blind in one eye for about 10 days and very weak and unsteady especially in the hind end. He has gone as long as 6 months between seizures in the past couple of years otherwise. His seizures are always upon awakening from sleep, or a nap. They last about 2 minutes. He has never lost bladder, or bowel control during a seizure, but I must get him outside to defecate shortly after. The after phase (post-ictal phase) lasts anywhere from 15-45 minutes. I do let him outside to go potty and move around, but under very close supervision. I do not confine him during this phase. During that time he is very disorientated and not very aware of my presence. Also, now to avoid clusters, I do administer 18-20cc’s of diazepam (best to wait until after they poop), after every seizure. He naps after and upon awakening is back to normal. Despite the seizures, he is otherwise a very healthy, happy, calm, sweet, affectionate boy. Source, Owner
