We have a 6 year old African Grey that is a part of the family. He likes to be on top of his cage and always in the same room as us. Sometimes he flies down to the ground. Yesterday, we adapted a 5 month Vizsla puppy. She is very hyper and freaked out when she saw the bird. I don’t want to keep the bird in a cage all the time but I’m concerned about his safety. Is is possible to train the dog to not be aggressive towards the bird? Does anyone have birds and dogs cohabitating in the same house?

What can I do to stop the convulsions until the lab results came back on Tuesday, we are testing her insulin to see if she has an insulinoma. My vet told me to give her a little sugar every six hours, an other vet told me to give her lots of sugar every now and then. The first vet is afraid that if she raises her level of glucose, the insulin will raise too… So what should I do???? This last week she haven’t had any seizures, but tomorrow morninng she had one. We used to give her Diazepam while she was seizuring, but now the vets tell me that if she is hipoglusemic, the Diazepam will do no goo. Nevertheless she is taking Phenobarbital, until we are completely sure that her seizures are because of the low sugar in her blood.
So if she was your dog what would you do to help her. And please don’t tell me to ask my vet, because I’ve done that, thousands of times, they don’t seem to come up with an answer, and they are the bests of the city. I live in Argentina, so sorry if my english is not that clear. Thanks for your help!!!!

I forgot to tell you that she’s eleven years old, and is a Vizsla.
We never leave her alone now because we’re afraid she would have a seizure. It started last february, but the convulsiones were very few, three in 9 months, but everything went back in December, she seizured a lot, so we started with the Phenobarbital. I did some blood tests (we did test her blood the first time she had the seizure) because I saw her kind of depressed, and her glucose was even lower. Now we’re trying to find out how to stop that.

Thanks for your answers, I do think she’s a happy dog, I treat her like a princess, we even spoiled her too much. Whenever she has the seizures, my whole family suffers a lot, the only confort I have is that she doesn’t feel pain, because she’s unconscious. But right now she seems like a happy dog, I mean, she has a normal life for an old dog, so that’s why I’m trying so hard to find a way to control the convulsions, and not simple give up on her.

My dog is a beagle mixed with some other dog. i got a book on dogs from the library and it looked like she was a mixed breed between a hungarian vizsla and a beagle. But i wanted to make sure.

My vizsla puppy (male) Is 9mos old now and about 60lbs. He is on the larger side of what the breed usually is. I was thinking that he would be done growing at around 1yr. He has slown down a lot. Does anyone know when they typicall stop growing and filling out totally? Just curious how big of a monster he is really going to be!!! HA HA!
Just so everyone knows…I have a 10 yr old vizsla as well. I know exactly what the breed is about. I know exactly how to care for them. I was asking generally how big people thought my pup was going to get….Seriously give me a fricken break
Thanks for your two cents nashniki

My 11 year old Vizsla is having seizures since last february. The first 9 months she only had 3 attack, but since the begginig of December she atarted seizuring a lot. We are giving her Phenobarbital, but it doesn’t work, because we’ve found out my dog has Hypoglycemia. The insulin test came back normal, so we rule out a tumor. Now the vet thinks it can be Addison, he says he’s never treat some case like this so he doesn’t know exactly what’s wrong. I have to say that he is the best vet we have in my province, San Juan, Argentina. I’m giving her sugar every two hours to control the seizures, so at least we don’t have to worry about that so much.
The problem is that learning about Addison online I see that the signs are different from my dog’s. Could some vet tell me if there is some other disease that might be harming my dog. I mean, she eats a lot, she drinks a lot, she doesn’t seem angry or weird, except for some moments when I felt she was kind of out of control. Everything looks good, but for the low sugar. We’ve tested 4 times and every time the glucose is lower. My vet comes from holidays last week, so I have to wait to see what he says, but the things I’m reading about Addison doesn’t seem to be what’s wrong with my dog.
Could be something else??? The vet says there are only few reasons the dog has low glucose.
Thanks for your help!
So it’s definetely not Addison, besides from the seizures she doesn’t seem to have any other problem. She does drink a lot of water and she’s more hungry than always. She doesn’t have kidney problems, at least the tests were ok, so we can rule that out.
Is there any other disease you can think of that can cause my dog to seizure, to have hypoglucimia and normal amounts of insuline???
Thanks a lot Chetco…! I really appreciate your help. I’m desparate trygin to find a solution to her problem.
I don’t think she’s epileptic, at least my vet doesn’t think so, because she started at the age of 10. And low glucose is the most common reason for seizures in dogs.
