Epilepsy in Canine (Large Breeds)

Explore the complexities of Canine Epilepsy in Large-Breed Dogs in this comprehensive presentation by Prof. Dr. Mike Chan, tailored for veterinarians, neurologists, and dedicated dog owners. Epilepsy, characterised by abnormal electrical activity in the brain, can cause recurrent seizures ranging from brief focal events to full-body convulsions. Certain large breeds, such as German Shepherds, Labrador Retrievers, and Golden Retrievers, have a higher predisposition due to genetic and structural factors. Common signs include collapse, muscle twitching, drooling, confusion, and post-seizure disorientation. Diagnosis involves excluding other causes through history-taking, physical and neurological exams, blood tests, imaging, and EEG where indicated. Management takes a holistic and integrative path—combining anti-epileptic medication and lifestyle adjustments with advanced regenerative solutions like PSC (Precursor Stem Cell Therapy), FOP (Frozen Organo Peptides), FOC (Frozen Organo Cryogenics), alongside TopPetPro innovations such as MITO Peptide Organotherapy, NANO Peptide Organotherapy, etc.—to help regulate neurological function, protect brain health, and enhance quality of life in affected dogs.
