MY dog was disoriented coming out of a seizure but I just stroked her and
loved her coming out and she never ever was violent. Only disoriented. I
have never heard of them being violent. This may be caused by another
condition.
Consider yourself VERY, VERY lucky, and no, in the case I mentioned, there
was no other condition. It wasn't diet, it wasn't low blood sugar (which can
happen with smallish dogs and older dogs), it wasn't vaccines, he didn't get
into anything bad, he was never injured and the timing of the seizures had
no correlation with atmospheric pressure changes or anything else you can
think of.
It WAS genetic (I later learned his particular pedigree was rife with it.)
BTW, while you MAY have an occasion where a dog gets into something poisonous
and has a seizure, or you MAY have a dog who is injured have a seizure, or
you MAY have a dog with a tumor/growth putting pressure on something that
causes a seizure, why, why, why are we so reluctant to say that in
99.99999999%
of the cases it's GENETIC??????? Want to laugh? One of the co-breeders of
the young dog I purchased who experienced this, knowing I've had horses in the
past, (although never on my property), actually had the audacity to ask if
the dog had been kicked in the head! (And, no, the closest he'd been to a
horse was seeing one on TV!)
Of course every dog experiencing or following a seizure isn't violent. I
sincerely hope you never see one that is, but the idea that you haven't heard
of it certainly doesn't preclude the occurrence. Given the original poster's
question and the fact that the family IS experiencing violence, I am simply
stating that I wouldn't chance it. Never. Ever.
