Epilepsy. Epileptic seizures are the result of excessive and abnormal nerve cell activity in the brain. The cause of idiopathic epilepsy is not clear.

Epilepsy. This is a most distressing complaint, not all convulsions are hereditary of course, they can be caused by blow to the head, brain tumours and the after affects of distemper, and here are a few more things which lead to epilepsy: Reduction of blood sugar level. Reduction of oxygen supply to the brain Poisoning by strychnine or lead etc. Brain inflammation, often virus induced. When convulsions start the dog becomes rigid, and they start shaking their heads, and rolling of the eyes occurs, they champ the jaw producing lots of white frothy saliva. It will then fall on its side, with its legs making galloping actions and they often lose control of the bladder and the bowels. The shaking will gradually slow down and it will get back on its feet but look rather wobbly and dazed. The attack will be over in about 3 minutes but can last longer. G.S.D's should be left alone when recovering as some can be very aggressive and are best left alone until 20 minutes or so has elapsed. Others will be shaken and frightened and may act out of character to what he or she would normally be like. Only a vet can tell you whether you have epilepsy or not. A full brain examination and a reading with an encephalographic will tell him this. Epilepsy can be controlled by anti-convulsant drugs though some treatments can be expensive. Ununited anconeal process is commonly referred to as elbow Dysplasia or non fusion of the elbow joint. It is a condition caused by a faulty union of the anconeal process (one of the elbow bones) with the ulna. The loose fragment of bone sets up irritation in the elbow joint. This first becomes noticeable at about five to six months of age. The dog will display intermittent lameness and you will notice a thickening on the out side of one or both elbow joints and the feet and the pastern will turn outwards. This can only be diagnosed by an x- ray been taken of the elbow joint. The most effective treatment is surgical removal of the loose piece of bone. This condition is believed to be hereditary but not very common Gastric torsion is a frequent killer of the G.S.D though it is not just the G.S.D that suffers. All larger deep chested dogs are at risk. The symptoms are rapid distention of food, fluids and especially gas either as swallowed air or as fermentation products. The consequences are twisting of the stomach leading to rapid death as the stomach is rotated. Some dogs may recover if caught early on, some may go on to have more attacks later, and some m...
