The Pet Doctor - Keeping your pets healthy & pet wellness - Pets & Animals on Pet Life Radio (PetLifeRadio.com) show

Summary: Today we are discussing a very scary problem for pet owners. Have you ever seen a person faint, have a stroke or have an epileptic fit? Have you ever seen that in a pet? Did you know that pets, like humans, can suffer from seizures from a number of different causes? They can even have epilepsy. I doubt anyone listening every thought their pet would have a seizure- it is not something we are generally prepared for. Hopefully after listening to this episode you will have a much better understanding of seizures in our pets. What are they, why they occur and what we can do about them. Our special guest and expert today is Dr. Jason Berg, a board certified veterinary internal medicine specialist and veterinary neurologist who will help us understand the conditions associated with seizures.
