Supose the vet say that this epilepsy may be not genetic, you make a litter and born puppies with the problem, the vet will be guilty because he was irresponsible. ![]()

I think epilepsie (and every other ilniss) is genetic,only the way how is the Question.So you must never breed with A dog that have an ilniss.And look good to the other dogs in the line.Thats the only thing you could do.

Are you sure the dogs are healthy? And have no epilepsy? Or maybe the owners do not say the truth?
![]() There was one GREAT dog in Czech Republic - hie had secondary epilepsy. He was many time beaten by the owner with metal rod in the head. He was taken away from the owner and had one litter. The dog died as young dog - the damages were too big. In the last time of his life he had seizures... Now there are already 3 generations with blood of this dog in Czech Republic and other countries. Not even one has epilepsy... No wonder... Stupid owner is really not a genetic based illness.... ![]() |

You wil never know if a dog is completely healthy also not if you get al the information from the owner... but I think it is not wise to use a dog with an ilness that is probably hereditary

- 25% of cases were classified as idiopathic - GENETIC based - 16% as symptomatic (cause unknown) - 45% as cryptogenic epilepsy (cause unknown) - in 14% of these a classification was not possible You can not say about epilepsy as 'genetic' illenes when only 1/4 of the cases have something to do with genetic based reasons... I agree we must note such cases and not use any dogs where it is not 100% sure the epilepsy is a secondary epilepsy... To be relly sure we can not use any dogs with epilepsy... But it is really not needed to start any witch hunt... ![]() |
