  Hi

  I presume you are referring to a seizure - can you give us some medical history for Chiku so we can address your concern?

  THanks

  Hi

  Itching near his eyes is either a skin problem (allergy or parasites) or bacterial conjunctivitis. Both can be treated quite easily, though allergies cannot be cured.

  From what you describe, your dog has not had a seizure at all. I'm not sure what it is you are worried about.

  A one off seizure is not anything worth investigating. There might well be never be another one. If he has a cluster of seizures, or several in the space of 1 week, then blood tests are required to first rule out a liver problem.

  Epilepsy, the most common cause of seizures, cannot be cured, but it can be managed well with tablets.

  Hi

  The Prazisam is a wormer, not significant.

  The Tribivet is a Vitamin B complex mainly, this is to help liver function.

  The Epsolin and Mysolin are anti-epileptic drugs to control the seizures. If your dog is not having seizures then they are effective, but you really need to have your dog on the mimimal effective dose, and the only way to find that out is to slowly decrease the dose until you identify the point at which seizures occur. Please discuss that with your vet first though.

  As I said before, epilepsy cannot be cured, only managed. Many dogs live to their full life expectency on anti-epileptic medication though so don't worry too much!
