Dogs suffering from epilepsy will show symptoms such as convulsions, spasms, mydriasis, salivation, incontinence, trismus and other symptoms. The length of the seizure is mainly related to the dog's condition. You can take a type of anti-epileptic drug, phenytoin, in small doses, which can effectively stop convulsions. Epilepsy is caused by damage to the central nervous system. The symptoms include staring eyes, repeated rhythmic trembling of masseter muscles, violent twitching of limbs, foaming at the mouth, and incontinence of urine and feces.
