Winthrop Argus AKC ILP 103099
Source of information: Katherine Schmalz (owner)
Age of Onset: 6 months Diagnostics: No diagnostic tests performed at this time other than a vet seeing his seizures, confirming what they were, and giving a verbal diagnosis. He has both focal seizures (twitching of the bottom jaw, tongue, and occasionally eyes) and absentee seizures (standing with his face in a corner or against a wall and staring blankly into space). His focal seizures are triggered by herding or playing behavior that involves his face/mouth- tugging with toys, towels or flyswatters waving in the air that he wants to bite at, sheep or children running by that 'need' to be herded, my leg touching his face during obedience heeling, etc. The more frequent the trigger, the stronger and more frequent the seizures become. His absentee seizures are triggered by stress- crowds of people in his home, large groups of dogs, thunderstorms, etc. |
Disease Progression: As he has aged, his absentee seizures have increased in number from 1-2 a month to 1 a week or so, but they do not hamper his ability to function. He does not have focal seizures unless triggered.
Treatment: Retirement from sports that triggered his focal seizures (agility, obedience, herding, flyball) and placement in a quiet, stress home. Due to the type of seizures and his other medical conditions, he was not considered a good candidate for medication. NOTE: This dog is believed to have hydrocephalus, but has not been diagnosed definitively. |
