Epilepsy in animals is a group of neurological disorders characterized by seizures, caused by uncontrolled, abnormal bursts of electrical activity in the brain.They can start and stop very abruptly and last any amount of time from a few seconds to a few minutes. [1]
Idiopathic epilepsy is commonly found in breeds such as German Shepherd Dogs, Beagles, and Dachshunds. The most common sign recurring generalized seizures beginning at a young adult age. [56] Rage syndrome is a rare inherited seizure disorder
On the whole, dachshunds are very loving and affectionate dogs, however, they are prone to becoming vocal and snappy around children and other dogs if playtime gets too boisterous.

This video demonstrates a range in the severity of seizures which all fall into the five classical stages when a stimulus that causes seizures is added to the rat model. For example, rats can be seen rearing (standing on their hind legs) and falling over, which demonstrate the fourth and fifth Racine stages.
Nystagmus, difficulty walking, and seizures may occur in some dogs. The cause is unknown, but it may be mediated by the immune system. One theory is that there is an autoimmune-induced generalized deficiency of neurotransmitters. [2] Cerebrospinal fluid analysis may reveal an increased number of lymphocytes. [3]
A seizure is a sudden change in behavior, movement or consciousness due to abnormal electrical activity in the brain. [3] [6] Seizures can look different in different people.. It can be uncontrolled shaking of the whole body (tonic-clonic seizures) or a person spacing out for a few seconds (absence seizure
