Seizures

Seizures may be "grand mal" where the whole body is affected or "petit mal" where only a part of the body is affected. Seizures are the result of abnormal nervous impulses which cause uncontrollable twitching and erratic behavior.

Causes of seizures include:

bulletPoisoning
bulletHead injuries
bulletSevere infections
bulletTumors
bulletEpilepsy

If you witness a seizure:

bulletKeep your Maltese away from furniture, stairwells, and sharp objects. Place blankets or cushions around it if possible.
bulletTime the length of the seizure episode. Seizures lasting more than 5 minutes may become life-threatening.
bulletDo NOT attempt to grasp the tongue. The risk of being severely bitten is greater than the risk of your Maltese choking.
bulletIf the seizure episode lasts more than a minute, transport in a blanket for emergency veterinary care.
bulletIf the seizure is a short one and your Maltese recovers quickly, place it in a dark, quiet area and offer a moderate amount of food and water.
bulletAlways report seizure episodes to your veterinarian who can advise you of the necessary steps to take from here.
