It is necessary to determine the cause of the dog's convulsions and then choose targeted medications for treatment. Factors that usually cause convulsions in dogs include poisoning, epilepsy, canine distemper, etc. If the convulsions are caused by poisoning, you need to go to the hospital immediately for induced vomiting or gastric lavage, and use the corresponding antidote.

If the convulsions are caused by epilepsy, you need to use anti-epileptic drugs. If a dog is infected with canine distemper and will develop convulsions in the later stage, it will need to be sedated and treated with antiviral drugs and antibiotics.
