A video of Norman having a seizure

Hi everyone,

herewith a video which I took of Normie whilst he had 2 seizures last Friday. The seizures were less than 10 minutes apart and each seizure lasted about 1 minute. In total he had 8 or 10 seizures that morning. I rushed him to the vet who gave him some valium and Normie fell asleep immediatly thereafter for about 4 hours. After he woke up he was 100% fine again and back to normal.

This is what happens when Norman has seizures:



Im trying to find a pattern as to why he has seizures. Is it maybe the food Im giving him, as I dont give him anything other than his doggie food and often give him cow hoofs and cow hides to chew.

I mentioned to the vet that I was stressed out during the week and asked if that could have had an effect on the doggies? The vet said that dogs can often smell the stress we experience.

Normie is back to normal again, but I always have to keep an eye on the little bugger.

Hey Norman, I was very sad watching your video, but I think it might be helpful to others so they know what to expect if their dog has epilepsy. I've had some seizures myself too, but I haven't had one for ages. We never found out what caused them. Good luck with your treatment pal. J x
G'day Normie,

You are too young a sweet fella to have these twibulations. We hope you stop having these terrible seizures, but we awe glad your mum is doing evwything possible. Thanks fow your video. We didn't know what the seizures looked like, so we learned lots fwom watching your video.

Love to you, Asta (oz)

Watching Norman have a seizure broke my heart and reduced me to tears. How dreadful. I really feel for him and for you Mom. I hope you can find out the cause or at least how to treat them.

I know that some rawhide are treated with dangerous chemicals. Many dog owners refuse to give their dogs rawhides because of them. I don't know if that helps at all, but maybe you can switch to chewing something safter like Booda bones and see if that does anything. Oh Norman, I hope you get better!!

Doggie Outpost

Us fox terriers are very nozy pooches and we absolutely luuuuuurve to stare out the window. Its getting cold and rainy here now, so being able to play outside is not always an option any more. Our bed has now moved to right next to the window. This is where we can have a good look at Garfield the pursian cat next door, and possibly any other exciting furry creatures that happen to pass by our window. Woof woof... how awesome!

Stripping a WFT is Cruel !

A message from Norman's Mom: As many of you can see (and know) my love for Norman (and all animals in general) is alot. He's growing up now and its getting time for his first trim. I have investigated stripping and I want all WFT owners to understand how strong I feel about NOT STRIPPING him and why. (the pic below can be enlarged for a wallpaper on your pc or cell phone) Why do you STRIP your Wire Fox Terrier: because they say so because everyone else does it to their WFT because its healthy because it brings out the colour because thats what you are supposed to do well, I say all of the above is -to say the least- BS: because they say so: so many people own animals and do with them what the 'breed' guidelines require for them to do. There is absolutely no reason why you have to follow the breed guidelines when it comes to stripping your dog. I say : if the animal is in any way inconvenienced or discomforted, then what THEY SAY is wrong. Its 2007. Those rules ...
