Retrospective study on canine idiopathic epilepsy treatment in primary care practices in the United States [PDF]
The aim of this study is twofold: to characterize the epidemiology of idiopathic epilepsy (IE) in a large US primary care provider, and to investigate primary care veterinarians’ anti-seizure drugs (ASDs) prescribing practices.

Imepitoin as novel treatment option for canine idiopathic epilepsy: pharmacokinetics, distribution, and metabolism in dogs [PDF]
Imepitoin is a novel anti‐epileptic licensed in the European Union for the treatment of canine idiopathic epilepsy. The aim of this study was to characterize the pharmacokinetics of imepitoin in dogs and to evaluate the interaction with drug metabolizing enzymes. Upon administration of imepitoin tablets at a dose of 30 mg/kg to beagle dogs, high plasma

Behavioral Changes in Dogs With Idiopathic Epilepsy Compared to Other Medical Populations
Anxiety related behaviors have been reported in humans diagnosed with idiopathic epilepsy (IE) and such traits may be altered depending on seizure phase. The purpose of this study was to determine the presence and severity of anxiety related behaviors in

The fecal metabolome and microbiome are altered in dogs with idiopathic epilepsy compared to healthy dogs [PDF]
Idiopathic epilepsy (IE) is the most common chronic neurological disease in dogs, and a natural animal model for human epilepsy types with genetic and unknown etiology. The microbiota-gut-brain axis (MGBA) is a promising target for improving brain health

ADAM23 is a common risk gene for canine idiopathic epilepsy. [PDF]
Idiopathic or genetic adult-onset epilepsy is a common neurological disorder in domestic dogs. Genetic association has been reported only with ADAM23 on CFA 37 in few breeds. To identify novel epilepsy genes, we performed genome-wide association (GWA) analyses in four new breeds, and investigated the association of the previously reported ADAM23 ...

Scalp electrode placement accuracy for the canine electroencephalography array [PDF]
IntroductionDespite the common occurrence of idiopathic epilepsy amongst neurological conditions in dogs, electroencephalography (EEG), the gold standard for seizure detection, is relatively neglected. The use of EEG in veterinary medicine is rudimentary

The Postictal Phase in Canine Idiopathic Epilepsy: Semiology, Management, and Impact on the Quality of Life from the Owners' Perspective. [PDF]
Background: Dogs with idiopathic epilepsy experience not only the preictal and ictal seizure phases but also the postictal phase. To date, research has primarily focused on the preictal and ictal semiology and therapeutic control of ictal events. Research into the postictal phase‘s pathophysiology, as a therapeutic target and how it impacts the quality
