Epileptic seizures

Question:
Olive leaf extract for dogs: Is it true that it may help in epileptic seizures? Currently our dog (4yr old male pom)is taking phoenobarbitol (2tabs daily-32.4 mg)along with SAME and MILK THISLE. Could his diet have any control over the seizures?

Answer:
As seizures can be for a variety of reasons, it can't be said that Olive leaf extract will definitely help.
It may help in some cases, but I would tend to concentrate on nutrition. Is the dog getting the nutrients he needs, including trace minerals, proteins and fats he would get in fresh meat?
I would give him some fresh bones from the butcher with a bit of marrow in them and other bits of raw meat, fish and milk products and even raw vegetables.
I personally believe most processed dog foods, cubes etc. are so high in preservatives, grains and other things a wild dog would never eat they do more harm than good.

500 mg. of Taurine helped reduce my Shih tzu dogs seizures.
