Even My Dog Doesn't Like You, Seizure

Even my dog doesn't like you, Seizure

Dogs are known to exhibit remarkable responses when their owners or humans in their proximity experience epileptic seizures. These reactions often demonstrate the deep bond and sensitivity that dogs have towards their human companions.

During a seizure, one of my dogs, Jack, display various behaviours that is instinctual. One common behaviour is sensing changes in my behaviour or body language even before the seizure occurs. Dogs are known for their acute sense of smell and ability to detect subtle changes in chemical signals emitted by humans, which may indicate an impending seizure. This sensitivity is thought to be linked to dogs' natural instincts and their keen observation of their owners' habits and behaviours over time.

As the seizure begins, Jack becomes visibly concerned or anxious. He might stay close to me, whine, bark, or paw at me in an attempt to seek attention or provide comfort. Some dogs may even try to protect their owner by lying next to them or creating a barrier around them to prevent injury during convulsions.
