Dog seizuring and foaming at the mouth, but fine after a while

Dog seizuring and foaming at the mouth, but fine after a while may be caused by calcium deficiency, chronic poisoning, epilepsy, canine distemper, or other reasons. Regardless of the cause, these situations are very dangerous for dogs. Therefore, it is recommended that owners promptly take their dogs to the pet hospital for inspection and treat them accordingly after determining the specific cause. The earlier the treatment, the higher the cure rate. However, if delayed, the dog's life may be at risk.

1. Calcium Deficiency

If a dog's diet is monotonous, causing a lack of calcium in the body, poor bone development can lead to seizures. This is especially true for pregnant dogs and those in the nursing period, who are particularly prone to calcium loss and symptoms such as increased body temperature and seizures. In this case, owners need to promptly supplement their dogs' calcium and vitamin D. They can also take their dogs outside more often to expose them to sunlight, which helps promote calcium absorption.

1. Chronic Poisoning

If a dog eats toxic substances such as rat poison, onions, or chocolate, it may experience seizures and vomiting due to the slow absorption of the toxins in its body. If this is the case, owners should take their dogs to the pet hospital for inspection and treatment promptly. Otherwise, chronic poisoning can cause gradual damage to the dog's liver and kidneys, which can only be detected by machines when a certain degree of damage has occurred.

1. Epilepsy

If a dog suffers from neurological diseases such as epilepsy, it may experience irregular seizures and vomit white foam. Each seizure can last from 5 minutes to half an hour. As dog epilepsy can only be suppressed by medication and not cured, owners need to take their dogs to the pet hospital for inspection. If confirmed as epilepsy, they must purchase special pet anti-epileptic drugs for treatment. At the same time, do not suddenly scare the dog and keep its living environment quiet.

1. Canine Distemper

If a young dog shows seizures and foaming at the mouth before successfully completing its vaccination, it may have contracted canine distemper and developed neurological symptoms. This is a late-stage symptom of canine distemper, and prompt treatment at a pet hospital is necessary or it will seriously threaten the dog's life.
