Seizures and Pets

Karen Muñana on Pet Life Radio ........

..Dr. Karen Muņana ............................

........................................


One moment your pet seems absolutely normal and then it happens.  It might be just a chatter of its jaw or it may fall to the ground and paddle with its feet totally unaware of what is going on around it.  Is your pet in pain?  Is it going to die?  You feel helpless and don’t know what to do.

My guest will give us great insights into seizures.  She is veterinarian Dr. Karen Muņana.  She is a board certified veterinary internist with a subspecialty in neurology and professor of neurology at North Carolina State University College of Veterinary Medicine.
