Epilepsy. What is Epilepsy? Epilepsy is characterised by a tendency for someone to experience recurrent seizures or a temporary alteration in one or more brain functions. What Causes it? An epileptic seizure, sometimes called a fit, turn or blackout can happen to anyone at any time. Seizures can happen for many reasons and can result from a wide variety of disease or injury. Triggers such as anxiety, stress, tiredness and illness may increase the likelihood that a child will have a seizure. Flashing or flickering lights and some geometric shapes or patterns can also trigger seizures. The latter is called photosensitivity and is very rare. Most children with epilepsy can use computers and watch television without any problem. What are the Signs of the Condition? Seizures can take many different forms and a wide range of terms may be used to describe the particular seizure pattern that individual children experience. What the child experiences depends on whether all of the brain is affected or the part of the organ that is involved in the seizure. Not all seizures involve loss of consciousness. When only a part of the brain is affected, a child will remain conscious with symptoms ranging from the twitching or jerking of a limb to experiencing strange tastes or sensations such as pins and needles. Where consciousness is affected; a child may appear confused, wander around and be unaware of their surroundings. They could also display unusual, such as plucking at clothes, fiddling with objects or making mumbling sounds and chewing movements. They may not respond if spoken to. Afterwards, they may have little or no memory of the seizure. Most seizures last for a few seconds or minutes, and stop of their own accord. In some cases, seizures go on to affect all of the brain and the child loses consciousness. Such seizures might start with the child crying out, then the muscles becoming stiff and rigid. The child may fall down. Then there are jerking movements as muscles relax and tighten rhythmically. During a seizure breathing may become difficult and the child's colour may change to a pale blue or grey colour around the mouth. Some children may bite their tongue or cheek and may wet themselves. After a seizure a child may feel tired, be confused, have a headache and need time to rest or sleep. Recovery times vary. Some children feel better after a few minutes while others may need to sleep for several hours. Another type of seizure affecting all of the brain involves a los...

Epilepsy. This is a most distressing complaint, not all convulsions are hereditary of course, they can be caused by blow to the head, brain tumours and the after affects of distemper, and here are a few more things which lead to epilepsy: Reduction of blood sugar level. Reduction of oxygen supply to the brain Poisoning by strychnine or lead etc. Brain inflammation, often virus induced. When convulsions start the dog becomes rigid, and they start shaking their heads, and rolling of the eyes occurs, they champ the jaw producing lots of white frothy saliva. It will then fall on its side, with its legs making galloping actions and they often lose control of the bladder and the bowels. The shaking will gradually slow down and it will get back on its feet but look rather wobbly and dazed. The attack will be over in about 3 minutes but can last longer. G.S.D's should be left alone when recovering as some can be very aggressive and are best left alone until 20 minutes or so has elapsed. Others will be shaken and frightened and may act out of character to what he or she would normally be like. Only a vet can tell you whether you have epilepsy or not. A full brain examination and a reading with an encephalographic will tell him this. Epilepsy can be controlled by anti-convulsant drugs though some treatments can be expensive. UNUNITED ANCONEAL PROCESS Ununited anconeal process is commonly referred to as elbow Dysplasia or non fusion of the elbow joint. It is a condition caused by a faulty union of the anconeal process (one of the elbow bones) with the ulna. The loose fragment of bone sets up irritation in the elbow joint. This first becomes noticeable at about five to six months of age. The dog will display intermittent lameness and you will notice a thickening on the out side of one or both elbow joints and the feet and the pastern will turn outwards. This can only be diagnosed by an x- ray been taken of the elbow joint. The most effective treatment is surgical removal of the loose piece of bone. This condition is believed to be hereditary but not very common GASTRIC TORSION/ BLOAT Gastric torsion is a frequent killer of the G.S.D though it is not just the G.S.D that suffers. All larger deep chested dogs are at risk. The symptoms are rapid distention of food, fluids and especially gas either as swallowed air or as fermentation products. The consequences are twisting of the stomach leading to rapid death as the stomach is rotated. Some dogs may recover if caught early on, some...
