What You Should Know About Canine Epilepsy
For many dogs, epilepsy can be a genetically inherited trait or even caused by the preservatives in the particular food that they eat. Certain breed types are more likely to have the condition due to genetic predisposition. Three different types present in canines for different reasons. Most of the time the pet affected by canine epilepsy can be successfully treated with the appropriate medication, a healthy diet and liver function monitoring.
A certain genetic basis for seizures has actual been proven in the breeds of Beagles, German Shepherds, Dachshunds, Belgian Tervurens and Keeshonds. There is some evidence that suggests that the English Springer Spaniel may also be predisposed genetically. The condition is quite common in dogs and even when not inherited, they may develop it over the course of their lifetime. Seizures have been linked to conditions related to the thyroid as well and this should be tested initially at diagnosis.
A change in diet may be the first course of treatment for many dogs because the preservatives in the food can be the main cause of many seizures. For particular breeds that are at high risk, it is wise to feed with only food that has no preservatives from the beginning and eliminate the possible chance of the problem developing. Be sure to read the labels carefully and preservative information will be indicated on the packaging.
Reactive, secondary and primary are the three types of epilepsy that may possibly present in canines. When a seizure is labeled as reactive, it involves the metabolic system. This will be in relation to kidney failure, low blood sugar or liver failure.
Symptomatic or secondary seizures have a cause that is specifically known at onset. These are usually related to a previous stroke or an existing brain tumor. Trauma can also be a likely cause for this type.
Primary or otherwise called idiopathic is labeled as such because there is no diagnosed cause. The diagnosis is actually reached by eliminating all other possibilities for seizure. This is more likely to occur in dogs that are between the ages of one and three.
There are several types of seizures that may occur lasting from momentary periods to repetitive occurrences. Petit mal are mild and may only be staring for a brief period of time. Grand mal are moderate and may last for as long as three minutes with the animal losing consciousness. Status epilepticus and cluster seizures can both be life threatening and it is difficult in some cases to differentiate between the two; lasting up to more than ten minutes with a loss of consciousness and repeating.
Several excellent medications are used to treat the condition including Phenobarbital, Valium and potassium bromide. Continual monitoring of the liver function is necessary when the animal is being treated with Phenobarbital. If the liver becomes damaged at some point due to medication, the animal is likely to be switched to only potassium bromide as treatment. Valium is most often used to treat status epilepticus and cluster seizures and can be given by injection, orally or rectally. There are some over the counter remedies that will assist with faster recovery for pets after experiencing a seizure, so consult with the veterinarian about using these substances for the treatment of canine epilepsy when necessary.
what is native american jewelry petit point?
This is a term used to describe a way of making turquoise jewelry, but it's not clear what it's describing.
Petit Point is a style of jewelry produced by the Zuni and is often confused with another Zuni style of jewelry--Needlepoint.
The Needlepoint style has many tiny, carefully matched cabochons with pointed ends placed in straight or curved lines and set.
The Petit Point style, often confused with or referred to as needlepoint, is a modified version of needlepoint that uses teardrop-shaped stones. If the stones are teardrop shaped, the piece is petit point, not needlepoint.
Although turquoise is the most common stone used in these styles, the jewelry is not limited to turquoise but can incorporte other stones.
