Family dog was epileptic.
Vet prescribed a medicine that reduced seizures.
Don't give your pet CBD to control epilepsy.
It doesn't work like that and it's not been tested on dogs to determine if it's effective. (The kind for human epilepsy is for a specific form of epilepsy and isn't just any old CBD oil anyway).
I can tell you that the scientifically validated medicine for the dog was cheap.
I think it was 1 pill a day. We would put it in a piece of a hot dog.
Dog would be most prone to seizure after getting super excited or scared.
We would just sit with her and rub her legs.
It always seemed like she was in pain.
The dog lived for like 10 years but she had one bad seizure where it caused a vertebrae to slip and pinch nerves and she could no longer walk and was in constant pain. So we euthanized her.
Take the dog to vet to get the medicine. It wasn't expensive back when our dog took it. So you should be able to afford it.
