I have heard of the ketogenic diet for humans, but not canines.

I wasn't asking you about the ketogenic diet, though. I was asking for studies specifically to support your claim that ice cream can control seizures. I think it's important to make sure we are giving accurate information when we offer advice on a medical condition so providing a link to an article, study, etc. is essential.

Do you think perhaps you misinterpreted the recommendation to give vanilla ice cream after a seizure to raise blood sugar as being part of the ketogenic diet?
