Canine and Feline Seizures (Epilepsy) and Thyroid Disorders

Is your dog having a seizure?  Is your dog having symptoms of seizures?  It may be a thyriod problem!

The full article on seizures and thyroid will be coming soon.

This article will discuss how seizures and thyroid problems are related.  If you have a pet suffering from seizures, it is highly recommended that you have a thyroid test done.  The basic thyroid test includes T3, T4 and TSH levels. 

Once you receive the results, you and your veterinarian should look at them closely.  If your pet is below the normal range, it may signal hypothyroidism.  If your pet is in the above normal range your pet may be suffering from hyperthyroidism.  Even if your pet is in the low normal or high normal range, it is important to monitor the thyroid closely and the amount of seizures activity.  Thyroid problems will contribute to seizures, so a low or high normal should be consider when discussing treatment.
