International Veterinary Epilepsy Task Force consensus proposal: Medical treatment of canine epilepsy in Europe [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
In Europe, the number of antiepileptic drugs (AEDs) licensed for dogs has grown considerably over the last years. Nevertheless, the same questions remain, which include, 1) when to start treatment, 2) which drug is best used initially, 3) which ...

Effect of a Ketogenic Medium Chain Triglyceride-Enriched Diet on the Fecal Microbiota in Canine Idiopathic Epilepsy: A Pilot Study. [PDF]

open access: yesVet Sci, 2023
Ketogenic diets have been successfully used in people and dogs with idiopathic epilepsy. This study examined the effect of a ketogenic medium chain triglycerides (MCT)- enriched diet administered for one month on the fecal microbiota of epileptic (n = 11) (six with drug-sensitive epilepsy, DSE; five with drug-refractory epilepsy, DRE) and non-epileptic

Exploring Gut Microbiota-Targeted Therapies for Canine Idiopathic Epilepsy. [PDF]

open access: yesInt J Mol Sci
Epilepsy stands out as one of the most prevalent chronic neurological conditions affecting companion animals. Recent research has increasingly focused on exploring the role of gut microbiota in influencing neurological conditions, like epilepsy. This influence stems from the bidirectional communication pathways between gut bacteria and the brain, which

Identification of a common risk haplotype for canine idiopathic epilepsy in the ADAM23 gene. [PDF]

open access: yesBMC Genomics, 2015
Idiopathic epilepsy is a common neurological disease in human and domestic dogs but relatively few risk genes have been identified to date. The seizure characteristics, including focal and generalised seizures, are similar between the two species, with gene discovery facilitated by the reduced genetic heterogeneity of purebred dogs.

Diffusion tensor-based analysis of white matter in dogs with idiopathic epilepsy

open access: yesFrontiers in Veterinary Science, 2023
IntroductionThe understanding of epileptic seizure pathogenesis has evolved over time, and it is now generally accepted that not only are cortical and subcortical areas involved but also the connection of these regions in the white matter (WM).

Structural MRI Differences in the Thalamus, Caudate Nucleus, and Interthalamic Adhesion in Dogs With Idiopathic Epilepsy. [PDF]

open access: yesVet Radiol Ultrasound
ABSTRACT Structural changes in the thalamus and basal nuclei (BN) have been documented in magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) studies of human epilepsy. Studies that specifically investigate whether equivalent structural changes exist in dogs with idiopathic epilepsy (IE) are limited.

Neurological Disorders in Dogs: A Retrospective Analysis of Prevalence, Aetiology, Lesion Locations, and Regional Variations in Northeastern Iran. [PDF]

open access: yesVet Med Sci
This retrospective study evaluated 422 dogs with neurological disorders among 9131 canine referrals over 8.5 years in northeastern Iran. Infectious diseases, particularly canine distemper (33.2%), were the leading cause, followed by trauma and idiopathic conditions. The prosencephalon was the most frequently affected anatomical region.

Bromide Therapy in Refractory Canine Idiopathic Epilepsy [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Veterinary Internal Medicine, 1993
Abstarct On a retrospective basis, the response to adding chronic oral bromide (BR) to phenobarbital (PB) administration in 23 refractory canine idiopathic epileptics between 1986 and 1991 was studied. The mean age for an observed first seizure was 24 months (range 7 to 72) for all dogs.

Role of Gut Microbiota through Gut–Brain Axis in Epileptogenesis: A Systematic Review of Human and Veterinary Medicine

open access: yesBiology, 2022
Canine idiopathic epilepsy is a common neurological disease characterized by the enduring predisposition of the cerebral cortex to generate seizures. An etiological explanation has not been fully identified in humans and dogs, and, among the presumed ...

Hippocampal expression of the cannabinoid receptor type 1 in canine epilepsy

open access: yesScientific Reports, 2023
Canine drug-resistant epilepsy is a prevailing issue in veterinary neurology. Alternative or additional treatment with cannabinoids is showing promising results in seizure management.
