Re: Shock collar stick on
Did you test the collar on yourself to see if it's sticking?
Re: Shock collar stick on
Yes I did and I always test before putting it on I couldn't get it to stick

Re: Shock collar stick on
Our lab started having seizures just before she turned 2. She got to where she could only hunt for 30-45 min. We never found out what caused them.This was about 10 years ago & they know a lot more now.

Re: Shock collar stick on
Until I hear the extent of this sezuire I can't say much but I can say that it wasn't because of the e-collar sticking. Stress may be a factor in triggering an episode but the dog must have the genes on both sides of the pedigree if it truellly seized.

Re: Shock collar stick on
What kind of dog is it? Some breeds are more common to seize. How hot was it?

A limit on the strap is nice, but the kill has nothing to do with tradition.

Re: Shock collar stick on
Doubt if it was from the collar. My "bet" is hypoglycemia - http://pets.webmd.com/dogs/dog-hypoglyc ... lood-sugar. Had a dog do that to me this summer.

The dog is a German shorthair, the Sizure was from what I know a major one, it wasn't hot about 50 and she has been ran way harder in way hotter days, took her out for some training yesterday just like nothing ever happened

My Boykin has them. He takes a pill a day and hasn't had them since. We tried taking him off pills for awhile but had seizures again. Pills for life. Normal dog with the medication.

Re: Shock collar stick on
What is the active drug in the pill?
Re: Shock collar stick on
I'd go with this. Had a dog years ago that that happened to. The vet said it was hypoglycemia. I don't recall anymore what he did but he advised me to carry a candy bar around and if it starts again give her some. Now I thing karo syrup might be a better idea.PntrRookie wrote:Doubt if it was from the collar. My "bet" is hypoglycemia - http://pets.webmd.com/dogs/dog-hypoglyc ... lood-sugar.

I pity the man that has never been loved by a dog!

Phenobarbital is the name of the medication. Not sure of the active ingredientBrazosvalleyvizslas wrote:What is the active drug in the pill?
Re: Shock collar stick on
That is the active ingredient and it is used for siezures in mammals (humans take it) usually to prevent siezure after a transplant of some sort. Least thats why the first wife took it, altho it caused her to contract bone cancer which killed her.Phenobarbital is the name of the medication. Not sure of the active ingredient

Re: Shock collar stick on
Pheno is what I was thinking. I just wanted to see if there was something else people have found to help with seizures.
Re: Shock collar stick on
There are several medications used to treat seizures in dogs:
~ Phenobarbital (abbreviated pb or phb)
~ Potassium Bromide (abbreviated KBr)
~ Phenobarbital & Potassium Bromide
~ Valium (diazepam)
~ Dilantin (phenytoin)
~ Neurontin (gabapentin)
The least expensive and the one found to be the most effective in more dogs is Phenobarbital.

Re: Shock collar stick on
You need to determine if it is exercise induced hypoglycemia or some other seizure before you
give the dog phenobarbital. The pheno will not work, I am pretty sure, for the seizures caused by hypoglycemia.
Giving the dog a squirt of kayro syrup every 45 min. while hunting will fend off the hypoglycemia seizures. I had a dog with
this problem also. He also showed no signs until was over two years old. I would feed a double portion or as much as the dog will eat if he won't eat all that, the evening before. No food in the AM but any water he wants is OK. Then use the kayro during the hunt. It worked well for my dog.
