What Causes Dog Liver Problems Causing Seizures?
The cause of this condition is due to the inability of the liver to function properly. One of the functions of the liver is to remove toxins that are created by other organs and detoxify or remove them from the system. When the liver fails to work properly this cannot happen and the toxins build up until they give the dog a drunken feeling and the brain gets affected by these chemicals. As the brain gets affected with these chemicals it ‘malfunctions’ and does not work as well as it should, to rectify this event the body has a seizure which can be thought of as a method for the body to take time out and fix the problem. When the seizure is over the problem has been temporarily fixed and thus the dog may seem completely normal and unaffected by the recent event. Until the liver problem has been fixed the chemicals will continue to effect the brain causing more seizures and further risk to the body.
