My dogs a maltipoo, two years old and has had a seizure June 16 and june 11 ;(. I haven't scanned her yet but i'm scared!

I've noticed that my dog hasn't been eating her food and my dad use to feed her human food though :P but we stopped feeding her that.

please if you think u know what might be wrong with her, just respond.



Hi Ines
I'm not a veterinarian I'm afraid, so I really can't say what's wrong with your dog. But there are lots of possible causes for seizures, including epilepsy, hypoglycemia (low blood sugar), disease, injury and so on.

Your dog is a small breed, and if she's not eating much it's possible that her blood sugar levels are falling too low and that is causing her to seize. Of course, that is only one theory.

I'd strongly suggest that you have her examined by your veterinarian, so that he can rule out injury/disease and so on. He should also be able to tell you what treatment, if any, is recommended. Anti-seizure medications are available if your vet thinks they're necessary.

I wish you the best of luck with your dog and hope that she is doing much better soon.
