Full Strawberry Moon ~ Seizure Alert for Epi-Dogs

Image
      W hile the full "Strawberry Moon," which is the last full moon of the spring (peaks on June 11th) may be beautiful to look at, and...it is t he lowest full Moon for nearly two decades (and is schedule to not appear again until 2043), it can also pose a trigger for some dogs with epilepsy. That is not to say *every* dog with a seizure disorder will be triggered, BUT it is a possibility that if you have an Epi-dog (dog with epilepsy) you may notice more agitation and an increase in seizures before, during, and even up to several days after a full moon.   Triggers *may* occur before, during, or after a phenomenon such as the Full Strawberry Moon. As always, it's good to keep an eye out, and just have your seizure protocol in order and have your Epi First Aid Kit handy. Be sure to read my post for what to have in your dog's First Aid Kit.     You can read more about these types of triggers HERE on a previous post.     Here's hoping you and you...

I have always loved this photo I took of him (of course it wasn't a real selfie, but it could have been!). We had just had our kitchen remodeled, including a beautiful tile floor to keep the FiveSibes all nice and comfy while inside in the a/c on the hot days. As you can see from the look of bliss on my beautiful boy's face—he loved the cool floor! It became one of his favorite spots on a hot day. Little did I know...he would only be with me for another month after this photo was taken before hemangiosarcoma stole him from me just shy of his tenth birthday. I will forever be grateful for him. Diagnosed with idiopathic epilepsy shortly after his third birthday, this fluffy boy never let seizures, ataxia, bromide toxicity, nor a torn CCL stop him from his zest and joy for life. Gibbie was truly an inspirational do...
