Dogs may have noticeable seizures causing their bodies to convulse. They may also exhibit more subtle signs such as facial tremors, sudden movements, or unusual barking. If your dog ever experiences a seizure, here are some things to remember:

🔹 Stay calm and focused to help keep your pet at ease.
🔹 Track the length of the seizure and note the symptoms. If possible, video footage of the episode may be helpful to your dog’s medical team.
🔹 Do not attempt to restrain or stop the seizure and keep away from the pet’s mouth, you could get bitten in the process.
🔹 To prevent your dog from hurting themselves during a seizure, keep them away from stairs, cushion their head, and gently hold and comfort them until they begin to regain consciousness.
🔹 Know that your dog is not conscious or in pain during the seizure, even if they sound or act like they are.
🔹 Always call your veterinarian or emergency veterinarian ASAP after an occurrence.

If the seizure lasts for 2-3+ minutes or if your dog has more than one seizure in a 24-hour period, this requires immediate medical attention. Bring them to your veterinarian or nearest emergency hospital right away. Our hospital is open 24 hours a day 7 days a week. We can be reached at 559-451-0800

Rodenticides become more commonly used as the weather continues to cool down, so we want to remind you of the dangers of using this poison. ☠ Rodenticides are effective due to their ingredients that attract rodents - and unfortunately these ingredients can attract dogs and cats as well. This incredibly toxic poison can cause bleeding, kidney failure, seizures, or even death.

Ultimately, we recommend avoiding using rodenticides and calling a local pest control professional. If you do decide to use rodenticides in or near your home, here are our tips to ensure your pet stays safe:

1. Keep the original packaging or receipt of the product. Many rodenticides look alike so the appearance cannot always be used to identify them. If you do not have the packaging or receipt and you are unsure of which type of rodenticide was ingested, treatment is still possible.

2. If you suspect that your pet has ingested a rodenticide, contact us at 559-451-0800 to bring them in ASAP. You can also call the Pet Poison Control Center at 800-213-6680 for further instruction.

3. When using any kind of poison, do your best to keep track of the following and write down these details: the room it was used, the exact location you placed it, and how much was used. Check these areas regularly to ensure the poison hasn't been moved or eaten by your pet. Before using, ALWAYS consider if your pet has access to the location.

4. NEVER mix a rodenticide with human or pet food as an attempt to attract rodents. That will only further increase the chances of your pet ingesting the poison accidentally. "
