minus-squaredaannii@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1·8 days agoI can’t say for sure if the seizures are painful but I think, for our dog, they were. The type she had made her muscles go rigid. Just holding muscles that tight for a few minutes would surely be painful. Often people don’t recall the experience of the seizure, only that they had one. I don’t know if it’s the same for a dog. A friend of mine who has epilepsy told me that he has an insanely painful headache after he has a seizure.
