Re: Tracking dogs of Europe

Mouse,

I realise that this is a couple of months old, but i had not heard of any other dogs having fits similar to this.

Quote:

Yesterday when I was returning to the vehicle after tracking, my dog got an epileptic seizure - nasty stuff for those not familiar - but its okay now. Will rest her for some days - hope it doesnt occure again.




When I lived in the Northern Territory, one of the dogs that I used to hunt pigs. was a Staffordshire cross English Bull Terrier. He also used to have occasional epileptic seizures, and as you say it was not nice.

I found that if he ran in the heat, and he would go for 3 to 5 kilometres on a trail, and with excitement such as a fight at the end with a decent pig, he would fit. After that I only took him in the cooler months, and rested him after each run and provided plenty of water and he was fine. Another great courageous little dog in my life that I love to remember fondly!!

Great posts, love reading them

cheers
Chris
