I also changed his dog food from royal caine to puppy chow. His seizures stopped. I think you said you were feeing your the royal caine and it also make me wonder if this is some kind of reaction to the food as well. It took about 3-4 day after I stopped feeding the royal canie for the seizure to stop. The vet said scooters were unknown but he also said it could have been from the breeder, breeding a half brother/half sister together too." |
I wouldn't interpret that as saying the food was the cause of the seizures at all. Just that the meds were changed around the same time as the food and the seizures stopped. Since meds take several days to reach a therapeutic level, the timing could be coincidental.
