Dog cramps are not necessarily due to calcium deficiency, but may also be because the dog has epilepsy. If your dog has a history of epilepsy, it is very likely to have sudden cramps in life. What should owners pay attention to when their dogs have cramps, and how should they take care of their dogs?

1. Do not touch the dog with your hands during the cramp and for 15 minutes after the cramp ends.

2. Unless the dog’s tongue is drawn deep into the mouth, never pull the tongue.

3. Do not give the dog food or water during a spasm attack.

4. Unless the attack occurs repeatedly, it is generally not life-threatening.

5. However, regardless of whether the seizure occurs repeatedly or the length of the seizure, you must report cramps to your veterinarian.

6. If the attack occurs again within 2 hours, you should see a veterinarian at any time.
