Epilepsy Awareness Month

November 25, 2012 by A Husky Life 10 Comments

November is epilepsy awareness month. As the month is coming to an end, I wanted to share with you what epileptic dogs are like:

Epi-dogs are sweet and loving
they are playful
they are curious
and mischievous
they like to please
Small things make them happy
They are always ready to make new friends
They love car rides
and enjoy exploring new places
They love long walks on the beach
and digging holes on said beach
they wait all year for snow.
And they love their people.

Many people worry that epilepsy is a death sentence for their dog. It’s not. There are many treatment options available that will allow your dog to live a happy and long life. There is also plenty of help and support available to those who chose to reach out. The Canine Epilepsy Resource Center is a great place to start.

    Wonderful! Rocco is beautiful and his message is so important! From Gibson and I, thank you for sharing this important message about how wonderful and loving Epi-dogs are and how they can live full, normal lives. And we look forward to Rocco’s story and some of his wonderful photos for our inclusion in our book!
