Epilepsy in Dogs: More Than Just Medication
Epilepsy is a common neurological disorder in dogs that is often treated with heavy-duty medication. Yet, despite this treatment, many dogs continue to have seizures, and their quality of life declines. Bobby's story demonstrates that epilepsy isn't just a brain issue, but can be deeply connected to the entire body, including the intestines, organs, and nervous system.
Bobby was treated with a multidisciplinary, holistic approach that included conventional medication supplemented with CBD (CBDa/CBGa), acupuncture, Chinese herbs, gut support, and a modified diet. This integrated approach improved his digestion, eliminated his head tremors, and significantly reduced the frequency and severity of his epileptic seizures.
This case underscores the importance of looking beyond symptom management. By supporting the body as a whole and identifying underlying imbalances, dogs with epilepsy can achieve a new balance and a significantly improved quality of life.
