Dr. Carrera-Justiz joined Dr. Wong on one of our weekly Q & A sessions to discuss seizures in dogs and answered the question …

I did as close to a 'scientific test' on my 14 pound dachshund as possible in a home environment. HISTORY:I 'rescued' this dog at about the age of 4, and she never had a seizure for the first year to year and a half. Then suddenly it started. She was having seizures on average once a month. They would last about 10 to 15 minutes before she could somewhat stand and walk again. At first I suspected the expensive kibbles I was feeding her and started making her food out of the best ingredients (70% beef heart, 5% fish, 20% veggies, 5% brown rice. All cooked). After several more months there was no change. I decided to try 'Angle Flavorless' CBD oil. (3,000 mg per 1 ml ~ 30 ml bottle). I recorded each seizure on the calendar, as well as the amount of CBD oil I was giving her (under the tongue). I started out with one drop per day, and after 4 months I increased it to 2. After another 4 months to 3, and so on for four years. There was never ANY change in her seizures over the course of that four years. Running low on the oil and not wanting to spend another sixty bucks for something that wasn't working, I decided to stop for a while. She had another seizure right on schedule on Feb 7th 2022. Then strangely she had a very short and mild one twelve days latter. Not bad enough so she was unable to walk, but I could tell. Today is April 17th and she hasn't had any more. They seem to have stopped as suddenly as they started. I've been retired since I got her and either I'm always home or my wife is, so I know we didn't miss recording any seizures. My non-professional opinion after over four years of using the drops is they did NOTHING to stop (or even help) the seizures. I've heard people praise their use, and if they work for those dogs I'm VERY happy for them. They just didn't work with mine.
There's some I've tried that have worked, others didn't. It's really hard to try another brand though bc the price is so high. $40 maximum a month for me. And I've seen some brands that claim crazy things like "66,000 mg pet bottle " hmmf
my dog had seizures before until i changed his dog food , im serious i use to feed him other dog foods , then i started feeding him blue buffalo and they stopped it could be the same issues i was having so chemicals dog food companies use will cause seizures
I would like for you to talk about the study’s that have been done on the benefit of CBD for pets as it is showing very promising results. My 4 year old dog started having seizures and it is horrific to watch. I’m going to try CBD BECAUSE the current drugs completely change your pet forever. I would love some advice or more education on the topic. Thank you!
