Pug's question about Pug Dog Encephalitis

Question

My pug had a seizure one day and afterward was fine like nothing happened. About 4 days later she had 3 in a row in a 4 hour period. I took her to the vet where they did blood work that came back normal, then sent us home with Phenobarbital. She's been taking ever since and has not had a seizure since. Can this be PDE?

Accepted Answer

Hello,
SO sorry to hear about your dog.  PDE is very rare.  Your vet can test your dog for this disease with genetic testing to see if that is what is causing this.  This is more likely epilepsy and your dog will need to be on seizure medication for the rest of her life. 

I hope your dog continues to do well.
