9 Foods That Can Cause Seizures in Dogs

It is my understanding that former dog food sold in most market leads to a great amount of ailments in dogs. I even think it might be a conjecture why my dog has seizures. My reliance has come about because the seizures Cory was having were lessened after we no longer fed him hard dog food or canned dog food. Finally, he ceased having seizures altogether more than five years ago, and we never had to give him an anti-seizure medication. However, are you aware of the fact that inevitable foods can lead to seizures or cause your dog to be sick? A few of these foods were shocking to me!

* Chocolate

Fluke

Nearly all pets owners are aware that chocolate can lead to seizures and to death for dogs. My dog, Cory, ate some of my son’s chocolate candy from Halloween. Before my son caught him, he had eaten a lot. Cory was very happy to have been eating chocolate as was evidenced by how hard his tail was wagging. My son contacted the poison control center and was told to get Cory to drink some Hydrogen Peroxide. This caused Cory to throw up. I am very glad that I keep Hydrogen Peroxide in my first aid cabinet. My son performed this emergency course outdoors. Cory is fortunate that my son caught him eating the chocolate in order to get it out of him in time. If you think your dog has gotten into some chocolate, and you do not know how much time has passed, you should caress a vet right away. Otherwise, if you see your dog eating it, you can use the Hydrogen Peroxide solution. Keep in mind that milk chocolate will do less harm to your dog than will dark chocolate.

* Foods that Have Onions or Onion Powder for Ingredients

Onions have disulfides and sulfoxides in them that can lead to the destruction of red blood cells, which makes dogs anemic.

* Fish That is Undercooked or Not Cooked at All

Particularly in Oregon and Washington, a lot of fish are contaminated with a fluke that is contaminated with a bacteria that is known to trigger seizures and possibly even death when eaten without it being cooked thoroughly. If you make sure the fish is fully cooked, this bacteria is eliminated, but you still need to take care to remove every singular bone from the fish prior to giving it to your dog. There is also some speculation that if the fish is icy at a cold adequate temperature, the fluke will be destroyed. Any way since I am not aware of what that temperature is, or the time the fish would have to be icy before all contaminants are gone, I would not propose giving uncooked fish to a dog.

* Nutmeg

Of course, not many people would ever think to put nutmeg on their dog’s food, but it can lead to seizures, trembling, and even death. Be sure not to give your god pieces of a treat that might have nutmeg as an ingredient, and this one is easy to follow.

* Mushrooms

Certain mushrooms have poisons that might lead to issues for dogs. This is particularly true for wild mushrooms. I already was aware of this danger, so I was able to keep Cory from eating any as we took our walks. You should teach your dog the words “leave it” while he is still a puppy.

* Cat Food

Most dogs, along with Cory, unquestionably enjoy eating food meant for cats, so this is one rule that is not going to be popular, especially in my house. Basically, cat food contains too much fat and protein for a dog’s digestive needs. You might still let your dog eat the crumbs left over from your cat, but you should not replace your dog’s food with cat food.

* Seeds of Apples

Fruit pits and apple seeds all have cyanide in then, and that leads to seizures.

* Raisins and Grapes

There is conflicting information with regard to raisins and grapes because when I discovered that these foods can lead to kidney failure in dogs, I was unquestionably using a dog training by hand that said to feed dogs raisins as treats. I called the man who wrote the training by hand to discuss this and she dismissed my issues because she said she has fed her dogs raisins for as long as she has been training them. You will want to do your own investigate and understand that these foods are questionable prior to deciding to feed raisins or grapes to your dog.

* Egg Whites

You are unquestionably able to give your dog full eggs that contain both the whites and the yolks; however, it is not safe to allow him to eat just the whites. This is because egg whites contain a protein called avidin, which takes foremost B vitamins away from your dog’s body. The yoke seems to have an element that counteracts the avidin protein in the whites, so if an egg is eaten whole, the depletion of vitamin B is no longer an issue.
