Hi guys,
We went to the vet yesterday for f/u for Nanook. He had been seizure free for 3 weeks. She was very happy and said she felt he was cured and to resume life as normal. We were ecstatic, to say the least.
Today, we gave him back his water bowl (the 2 grand mal seizures he had both occured while he was drinking from this bowl). We had taken it away and gave him a glass bowl just as a precaution. We had told 3 different vets about it happening while he was drinking but they all said it had nothing to do with it. Tonight, he was drinking out of his plastic bowl and had another seizure
It was a grand mal, but not nearly as severe as the 2 previous and lasted in total about a minute. We administered 4ml valium rectally and now he is passed out.
It just seems so coincidental that all 3 were while drinking out of this one bowl. 3 weeks and he's fine until we give him back that bowl. Have any of you ever heard of this before? I've tried to do a little research and found one article that states plastics can cause seizures, but even when we took it away he was drinking out of the older dogs bowl (same material/manufacturer but about 8 yrs old) and his food bowl is a hard plastic "Go-Slow" (he's a ravenous eater and this bowl slows him way down) as well. Seems to be this one specific bowl. Or maybe it is just coincidence
I'm at a loss
