What to do if your Mastiff has a Seizure


Dogs are prone to seizure activity in much the same way people are. If you notice that your English Mastiff or other breed of canine companion is having a seizure, don’t panic. Instead, apply the following steps for your dog’s safety and your own safety. First, call your vet if you notice your dog having any type of sporadic convulsions or fits in which he loses control of his body. Next, back away from your dog so that you are not in danger of getting hit while your dog is unable to control his body. Also move any type of sharp objects or furniture away from your dog so he doesn’t get hurt. Don’t worry about your dog swallowing his tongue, this is actually a myth. Wait for the seizure to subside. Start talking to your dog so he hears and recognizes your voice. Pet him softly and reassure him. Report the outcome to your vets Marietta, GA.
