Hoping for some insight, advice, anything at all at this point - Dublin had a seizure yesterday afternoon and it was one of the scariest things i've ever witnessed concerning my dogs. It came completely out of the blue.
I know next to nothing about seizures except what to do (or not do) during one. How common is it for a three year old, otherwise healthy and active, standard poodle to have them?
He's never had one before. There's nothing "new" in his life (IE dietary, environmental, etc). He was with me at work when it happened, nothing new there either, and i bring him every 3 weeks to brush him out and bathe him so he doesn't tangle up so while he isn't a fan of the process he tolerates it.
He was perfectly fine all morning leading up. And he recovered fine after, though it felt like it took forever. He's seen the vet (was brought there immediately following), was looked over, and had blood drawn, but they basically said it's a wait-and-see thing right now. He might have another one, he might not.
I hate playing this kind of waiting game. It never even crossed my mind to be worried about seizures with him. I know that having one doesn't mean he's suddenly going to start having them regularly but i'm still kinda freaked out - probably over thinking, but any advice or insight would be welcome.
