My husky puppy had a seizure after smoke exposure, what happened?

Since she is young, she may just have epilepsy. She should be examined by a vet for a physical examination and lab work to rule out other potential causes. If she is an epileptic than she may need an anti-convulsant medication to prevent additional seizures. Please call your vet and schedule an appointment.

Please have Sesi seen by a vet immediately. It sounds like she may be having neurological symptoms, which could be due to toxin ingestion, diet, low blood sugar, endocrine disorders, infectious disease , trauma, or a mass. A physical exam by a veterinarian is needed, and your vet will likely want to run some tests, which may include blood work, urinalysis, and imaging to help determine a cause for the signs you’ve noticed and form a treatment plan. Good luck, and I hope Sesi feels better soon!

I suppose it's theoretically possible that paint fumes could cause seizures or other neurologic issues, but it would have to be an extremely severe exposure (i.e., trapped in a small space with very strong fumes for a long time). I have never seen a case of this, and in my experience it would be unlikely. If your puppy is having seizures, more likely causes of this would include hypoglycemia (low blood sugar), an infectious disease like canine distemper, a liver shunt, or ingestion of something toxic. Regardless of the underlying cause, seizures in a puppy are a medical emergency, so I would recommend taking Sasha to the vet immediately for an exam and treatment.

It is unlikely that the seizures were caused by the Excedrin. We do not know why young dogs get seizures it is a so-called idiopathic disorder. It is likely that your dog will need to take phenobarbital for a long time. Your vet may decide after a while to try out whether a lower phenobarbital level is sufficient to control the seizures. A low SDMA is normal for puppies.

Hello. I am sorry that Laika is having problems. It sounds like she has a few issues going on. In regards to her vomiting and eating grass, she may have food allergies so you can try a diet trial with a different food to see if that helps. With her breathing, if she is reverse sneezing this is normal and can happen frequently. If this isn't reverse sneezing then having radiographs done of her throat/chest, and sometimes fluoroscopy (an active x-ray which is in 'real time' to see motion) can be helpful at finding the problem. Seizures can be caused by many different factors including metabolic disease, organ disease, intracranial problems (masses, vascular events), toxins, epilepsy, etc. To work up seizures you start with general bloodwork, and if this is normal you pursue imaging in the head, so MRI is often indicated. If you would like to pursue a complete work-up with Laika then talk to your vet about an internal medicine consultation, or possible neurologist specialist consultation. Good luck with Laika.

The most common reason for seizures in dogs is epilepsy. Since she has been having balance issues as well and a fever I would be worried about meningitis or a brain tumor. I suggest you get Sam to a vet for an exam.

Huskies are certainly able to overheat more easily than other breeds due to their thick coat. All of the clinical signs could potentially be related to something like that as well, but could be an indication of something entirely different. If there has only been episode of vomiting and some mild lethargy, I don't think it is entirely unreasonable to take a wait and see approach. If the rapid breathing becomes even more labored or Midna actually appears to be in any true distress, I would not delay and would take her into the veterinarian as soon as possible. As of now, it sounds like she's still eating, drinking, and functioning pretty normally. Keep a close eye on Midna, particularly the breathing, and should it worsen have her looked at right away.
