WHY DO DOGS EXPERIENCE EPILEPSY, AND WHICH TESTS REVEAL THE CAUSE OF EPILEPSY

The causes of epilepsy in dogs can stem from various factors and often require specific tests for understanding. Here are some common reasons and corresponding tests to comprehend these causes:

1. Idiopathic Epilepsy (Unknown Causes);

•Most cases of epilepsy in dogs have no apparent cause, known as "idiopathic" or "idiosyncratic" epilepsy. •Tests are generally aimed at ruling out other potential causes

2. Genetic Factors:

Certain dog breeds may have a genetic predisposition to epilepsy. Genetic tests can help identify this predisposition.

3. Immune System Issues:

Problems with the immune system can lead to neurological issues. Comprehensive blood tests and neurological examinations can assess this condition.

4.Head Trauma or Tumors:

Head traumas or tumors can trigger epilepsy seizures. Imaging tests (MRI, CT scans) can detect these conditions.

5.Metabolic Disorders:

Metabolic issues such as liver or kidney problems can cause epilepsy. Blood tests can evaluate liver function and electrolyte levels.

6. Poisoning:

Exposure to toxic substances can induce epileptic seizures. Blood tests and assessments for

7.signs of poisoning can be conducted. Infections:

Brain infections or infections related to the circulatory system may lead to epilepsy. Blood tests and imaging tests can evaluate signs of infection.
