Things You'll Need:
-
Step 1
Do not approach the dog in the moment she is having a seizure. Only intervene if the dog is in danger of hurting herself--or if something else in the room is hurting the dog.
-
Step 2
Remove any other animal from the room where the seizure is taking place.
-
Step 3
Turn off the television, radio or any other thing that is making loud noises. Soft and soothing noises, like the dishwasher running, a fan blowing or very quiet music is acceptable.
-
Step 4
Wait until the seizure is finished.
-
Step 5
Speak softly and kindly and approach the dog. If the dog growls or barks keep your distance until you can approach without being warned away from him.
-
Step 6
Use a soft rag to clean the drool or foam off of the dog's face and anywhere else on her body.
-
Step 7
Pet the dog on the head, back and legs.
-
Step 8
Sit with the dog and talk softly to him until the dog gets up on his own.
-
Step 9
Keep the dog calm by keeping other animals away and keeping her in a room that is quiet and dim.
-
Step 10
Offer the dog a spoonful of honey. This will bring his blood sugar back up and might help to prevent seizures from happening again.
-
Step 11
Make sure there is plenty of food and water available for when the dog feels like eating and drinking.
