  Why Is It Important to Keep a Seizure Log?<\/strong><\/p>\n

  There are several important reasons for keeping a seizure diary \u2013 to aid in diagnosis, to help you and your vet to make decisions about treatment, and to help you spot patterns and triggers.<\/p>\n

  Diagnosis & Treatment Decisions<\/em><\/p>\n

  Writing down what happens before, during and after a seizure can help your vet identify the type of seizures that your dog is experiencing. This is important because some medications are more effective for certain types of seizures. Keeping a record also helps you and your vet decide whether medications are effective or need changing. If seizures get better, stay the same, or get worse after a medication change everyone needs to know. A log will also help you track side effects from medications that you give your dog. All this information helps you and your vet make informed decisions about treatment. This journal allows you to keep all your notes and questions together and to share them when you take your dog to appointments.<\/p>\n

  Patterns & Triggers<\/em><\/p>\n

  Writing down the time, where your dog was and what was going on prior to a seizure may help you spot patterns and identify potential triggers. Some common triggers are listed on the seizure record pages as tick box options, and there are spaces to record your own. There is also a notes section for your own thoughts and observations. Identifying triggers could help you make changes that may help your dog. Keeping records will also help you see if any changes you introduce are making a difference.<\/p>\n

  Make record keeping one less thing to worry about by keeping all your dog\u2019s information together in a journal specifically designed for epilepsy management.  <\/p>\n<\/div>\n
