Why do dogs twitch?

Dog convulsions may be caused by neurological canine distemper, a virus that damages the dog’s nerves. Seizures in dogs may be caused by epilepsy, which is related to genetic factors, such as inbreeding. Convulsions in dogs may be caused by encephalitis. Viruses, bacteria, and parasites invade the brain and cause encephalitis.

How to treat dog convulsions

To treat dog convulsions, you need to determine the cause and then treat it symptomatically. If it is caused by canine distemper, canine distemper needs to be treated. If encephalitis is the cause, the encephalitis infection needs to be controlled. If it is epilepsy, be careful not to shock the dog.
