{"product_id":"canine-epilepsy-seizures-james-belan-9781984550477","title":"Canine Epilepsy \u0026 Seizures: Causes and Treatments","description":"Seizures are one of the most common neurological conditions in dogs. The scientific term for seizure is \"ictus.\" A seizure may also be called a convulsion, attack, or fit and is a temporary involuntary disturbance of normal brain function that is usually accompanied by uncontrollable muscle activity. They occur when too much electrical activity is going on in the outer layers of a dog's brain called the cortex, which is responsible for thought, memory, sensation, and movement. Seizures are the result of muscle responses to an abnormal nerve-signal burst from the brain. They are symptoms of an underlying neurological dysfunction. Toxic substances and metabolic or electrolyte abnormalities and\/or imbalances cause an uncoordinated firing of neurons in the cerebrum of the brain, creating seizures from mild petit mals to severe grand mals.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e James Belan\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1984550470\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781984550477\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Xlibris Us\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/30\/2018\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 260\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.85lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.59d","brand":"James Belan","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43940629381375,"sku":"9781984550477","price":19.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_780a64c8-a7f4-42ad-a497-d6f336ea2880.jpg?v=1681448287","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/canine-epilepsy-seizures-james-belan-9781984550477","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
