Stiamo lavorando attivamente per trovare una soluzione. Nel frattempo vi invitiamo a visitare il nostro sito Globale One of the most exciting new areas of research in canine epilepsy is on the effects of diet. Holger added: “Breeders and dog owners have often told me that they feel that the food that they give to their dogs does influence the control of their seizures.” Professor Holger Volk leads dog epilepsy research Support your dog's brain function with this clinically proven dry dog food specially developed with medium chain triglycerides and neurosupportive nutrients in a ketogenic recipe.This Purina Pro Plan NC Neurocare complete dry food has been specially developed for adult and senior dogs, with medium chain triglycerides (MCTs) and a special combination of nutrients to help support healthy brain function.Klinikailag tesztelt és igazolt: közepes láncú zsírsavakat tartalmaz, melyek hozzájárulnak a normál agyműködéshez

These anecdotal observations kindled the idea of looking closer at the effect of diet on dogs with epilepsy. Holger emphasised the importance of giving a consistent diet, which can be extremely difficult in a real world situation, because one of the effects of epilepsy drugs is to stimulate appetite and so these dogs will always be looking for food. Giving leftovers from human meals can further add to the challenge of looking after a pet with epilepsy because ingredients, such as high salt levels in many human foods, can interfere with how dogs process some of the AEDs. It is not just the amount of food that matters, the individual nutrients are also important. The closing dates for receipt of all applications is 31.01.24.

After reviewing the seizure data for each dog, five dogs had experienced at least one cluster seizure during the trial phase. Of these five dogs, there was no apparent pattern in the occurrence of the cluster seizures while on the test diet. A post hoc statistical analysis was performed that excluded the five dogs that experienced cluster seizures at some point during the treatment period ( table 3) because the aim of the study was to especially study its effects on dogs with single seizures. The mean seizure day rate (1.0 seizure days/month) for the test phase significantly (P<0.001) declined by 58 per cent compared with the baseline seizure day rate (2.4 days/month) for 16 non-cluster seizure dogs. None of these 16 dogs had any worsening of seizure day rate or seizure frequency (0 per cent) and 12.5 per cent of dogs (2 of 16) were seizure-free throughout the entire 84-day feeding trial. Overall, 87.5 per cent of dogs (14 of 16) had greater than a 33 per cent reduction in seizure days and seizure frequency, with 50.0 per cent of dogs (8 of 16) experiencing greater than a 50 per cent reduction in seizures. Only two dogs (12.5 per cent) had either no change or a 17 per cent reduction in number of seizures. Made with medium chain triglycerides (MCT) and omega-3 fatty acids, the specially formulated diet will support your dog’s circulation, blood pressure and heart functions.

Puppy Feeding Instructions The team at the RVC demonstrated this in a study that showed a diet rich in medium-chain triglycerides (MCT) can help control seizures 1. The study was a six-month randomised, placebo-controlled, double-blinded crossover study conducted in dogs with idiopathic epilepsy that were also being administered AEDs. It demonstrated for the first time that a test diet with MCT oil can have positive effects on reduction of seizure frequency when fed as an adjunct to veterinary therapy (71% of dogs showed a reduction in seizure frequency, 48% of dogs showed a 50% or greater reduction in seizure frequency and 14% of dogs achieved complete seizure freedom).
