Epilepsia e Crises Epilépticas em Cães e Gatos - Parte II | VET Profissional

Hey guys. Good afternoon. Welcome everyone to part two of the lesson on epileptic seizures. Last week, in part one, we talked a lot about it, right? We had several videos, and we managed to show you what the main difference is between a focal seizure and a generalized seizure, and to understand that a

seizure is a clinical sign, not the name of a disease. Just as a cough is a clinical sign, but a cough is not a disease, a seizure is a clinical sign, but a seizure is not a disease; it's a paroxysmal event, it has a onset, and so on, right? Just like with coughing, for example, I talked

to you about facial involvement in animals, right? This is extremely important. Remember that video of Xauwa where the only, the only thing, the only clue he gave us was, you know, his facial movements that indicated a partial seizure? So this is very, very, very important. So, by knowing how to identify them, you

can follow our line of reasoning. Why? Because I also mentioned that roughly 1/3 of all reports that claim it's a seizure aren't actually seizures, right? The reports are reports of other neuroplastic syndromes or other neurological syndromes, right, of other affected segments, and the veterinarians were there, believing it to be a seizure, the veterinarian treats, treats,

treats, and it doesn't work. The animal continues to have those episodes, although it's not having a seizure, of course. Last week's class was extremely important. For those who missed it, for those who arrived here in lesson two, watch last week's lesson; it's still available for free on YouTube. Then, you know, 7 days will pass, and then it will only be accessible on the
