My male dog, Shih Tzu, age 4 years old and is on a good diet, has had seizures. I haven't given him any shots since Oct. '05. ( need to get him caught up because he was staying at a kennel.) I did give him Cuprum to counteract any of the shots affects . They were given over one month period.

First seizure began in Jan. and then on March 1. Both lasted approx. 3 min. Foaming at the mouth, lying on side, heavy breathing, legs flapping and this came on while he was asleep.

I had been giving him Mag Phos. Cell Salt for about a month. Everyday for 2 weeks and then down to 2x a week.

Last night he had a cluster of seizures about 8 of them. Lasting 3-5 min. over a 2 hour period. He was on my bed. Foaming at the mouth, eyes fixed, feet flapping, trembling of body jerking, twitching of body and legs. He could bearly walk. He would flop over. He began by tremebling and then I realized another seizure is coming on. His feet were curled up like having spasms.

He is good natured. Loves to play and be with us. He is fenced in and thus doesn't go into the street or near other dogs except the other female shih tzu, who happens to be his daughter. Both are spayed and neurtered.

I feed him organic vegetables -dehyrated and rehydrated and wellness brand dog food. I also add some ground chicken or turkey. He only drinks purified water.


I first gave him Bach's Rescue Remedy. It didn't help at all during one of the seizures. It did help on March 1st. Then one dose of Cuprum 200C. He proceeded then to have more clusters of seizures.

It didn't stop it at all. I just sat near him and spoke calmly and darkened the room.
Do I need to go down to a 6x or 30C or change my remedy? I have looked in the materia medica and these remedies fit: Zinc and Cocculus, Argentium Nit., Cuprum, Belladona all came up.

I didn't have anything under 200 since I usually order 200C. I don't have a homeopathic vet nearby and I am in the process of moving. I need to help him now before he has another attack.

Thanks,
