Siezures In Dogs

Dogs eating Cucumbers – siezures?? :Detox For Long Life | Natural ...

I have two dogs. One is 13 years old, the other is 7. I often give my dogs leftover parts of vegetables, because if they had their way they would knock the trash over and be a garbage disposal, anyway. Of course most vets and dog-lovers say you should not feed your dogs table scraps, but I don’t feed my dogs unhealthy things like snacks, etc. The question is whether anyone has ever had any experience with dogs having any problems after having eaten cucumbers or the peelings. My dog ate some cucumber one evening, and the next morning she had a seizure. She had a seizure3 years ago, after being given two vet-prescribed meds that can potentially havethose side-effects. She has not had any seizures since then. I am wondering if the cucumbers could have contributed to this. The only thing I could come up with online is cucumbers for liver cleansing. Please don’t preach about table food for dogs. My older dog is 13, so I think I have this pretty well under control. Experience only. To: Call the vet, DUH! Of course we did this!! The vet said that since the seizure was already over and the dog was stable, don’t worry and don’t bring her in unless additional problems ocurred. We brought her in a couple days later to get blood work done to be sure her PH and other organ functions were where they should be. They were in normal levels. We did not have to do this and the vet did not even suggest this – a very well-respected vet. I noticed that cucumber is included in a liver cleanse item for dogs, so this may have let something out of the liver that was tied up, there, or the pesticides in the peelings . Don’t assume people have not consulted the vet just because they are asking if anyone has had any experience with something. She had also been gaining weight, already & thta made me suspect poss. diabetes, but normal blood work. Also, the two of them no longer have access to . . . kitty litter (now blocked off) . . . We started her on Blue Buffalo food which has no wheat in it, as far as I know. Just rice and the normal protein sources, and natural items. I wondered about the cereals and grains in the other foods. Also candida from high carbs in the foods, or PH problems. The two medicines that caused a problem before were an antibiotic which was a really strong one and a stomach med that was meant to settle the stomach after getting into the garbage. Both meds (3 years ago) were said to have poss. side effects of seizure. So . . . watch when you give meds.
