We all know the importance of brain and how crucial it is for our Survival. Without our brain’s optimal functioning, we cannot breathe properly, nor can we even exist in a nutshell! No words can emphasize enough the importance of this God’s wonderful creation – Brain
Brain has the ability to control the spinal cord as well as certain chemical substances called as the Neurotransmitters which helps in transmission of nerve impulses which in turn acts upon our tissues and cells to bring about the desired actions. Sometimes however, there’s malfunctioning of these Neurotransmitters, along with nerves which leads to certain conditions and diseases. Epilepsy being one of them.
Today, let’s discuss about a serious condition which affects our pets. Let’s read more about epilepsy –
WHAT IS EPILEPSY?
Epilepsy is a disorder in which nerve cell activity in the brain is disturbed, causing seizures.
Epilepsy is a brain disorder which causes the brain to malfunction and trigger seizures. This condition is also alternatively termed as “Seizures Disorder”. We can say that Epilepsy is a broad umbrella term and the causes (what triggers this) are many. However, Epilepsy is a chronic condition or disorder, wherein there are recurrent, unprovoked seizures. Your Veterinarian will diagnose your pet with epilepsy if they have two unprovoked seizures in a short span of time back to back that were not caused by some pathological condition or disease-causing microorganisms. Sometimes, Idiopathic epilepsy, [which is the most common cause of seizures in the dog] is an inherited disorder.
