Guest snakes Posted December 10, 2008 Share Posted December 10, 2008 Hi, my boys seizures are becoming a bit more frequent. I don't know if we are just in a 'seizure week' or if it is a sign that the frequency is increasing, only time will tell. However, i am considering any natural remedies for the seizures, anybody tried any? I have heard of milk thistle.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4My2Greys Posted December 10, 2008 Share Posted December 10, 2008 Attached is a link to an article concerning a holistic approach to epilepsy in pets. Epilepsy in Pets I would discuss anything you do with a holistic veterinarian, but you might want to look into the use of CholodinR, a choline containing product that has been used successfully in pets.

Newgreymom Posted December 10, 2008 Share Posted December 10, 2008 We used the homeopathic remedy Cuprum Metallicum 30C. It worked wonders! He has not had a seizure for over 1 year.... You can order it online from any reputable homeopathic company or at a good health food store. I believe the Vitamin shoppe has it also. Let us know!

ahicks51 Posted December 10, 2008 Share Posted December 10, 2008 Also note that a ketogenic diet is known to stop epilepsy in children with absolutely no drugs. The canine equivalent is raw feeding. A certain percentage of children on a ketogenic diet stop having seizures, and never have them again- even once they go off the diet.

Guest EmilyAnne Posted December 10, 2008 Share Posted December 10, 2008 Milk thistle is to prevent liver disease caused by a seizure med- Phenobarbital. I would try chiropractic and acupuncture if you are able afford it. (I wanted to try accupuncture, could not afford it) Chiropractic tends to cause epilepsy to get worse before it gets better, so this is something I would only do EARLY on. Not later. Homecooked is something else you can try. You can see my recipe in sidebar of my blog. (Link is in siggy) I do homecooked plus Phenobarbital. What has your boy's seizure history been for the past few months? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest VanillaBean Posted December 10, 2008 Share Posted December 10, 2008 Right now we are trying DMG and Spascupreel. You will have to Google DMG, my DF knows more about that! Spascupreel is made by Heel and you can google that too. We are using it for an iggie that has about 2 observed seizures a year. Good luck!

Guest snakes Posted December 11, 2008 Share Posted December 11, 2008 thanks everyone. I will look up information on all the suggested remedies. Luckily my vet and his partner are strong believers in natural remedies and educated and practice in their office. My boy just started having seizures last august and they have been spotty since. Two to start, then one here and there since, but recently it was one a week ago that may have been two together (obviously worse), then one yesterday and one today.
