Pets can seizure for numerous reasons. The first time a pet seizures, it is important to have your veterinarian do a complete physical exam and run blood work to rule out infections and metabolic reasons. Birdneck Animal Hospital in Virginia Beach has laboratory equipment here on site which allows rapid results while you wait. A few of the potential causes of a seizure include bacterial and viral infections, fevers, tick borne diseases, liver disease, hypoglycemia, toxins and tumors. When no obvious cause for multiple seizures can be identified the condition is termed epilepsy. Many of these pets require medication to control seizures.
