First Seizure In 7 Year Old Dog My 7 Yr Old Lab Has Had Seizures For 4 Yrs. Why When He Gets Excited Does It Seem To Trigger A Seizure? He Is?

My 7 years old Sibe has epilepsy as well and is on phenobarbital, which was controlled eliminated (I think) their attacks on the past year. (I can not find problems in the past year, we say.)
However, I am aware that it triggers. Do not be too much stress, too excited, too tired or too hot. I have to be careful. If we go, kept the dog park for 15 minutes. If you are as "hot and tired" expression on his face to start, I know I have to go and have to agree. If it is colder outside, we can not stay longer. (However, since s "SIBE acts," too hot "for him more than 65). During a visit to my parents, I take runners (carpet) with me because my dog is famous for its wooden floors and precise, they are much more slippery than carpet that was used in my place. I just threw on the floor brokers, family stable running surface, which have reduced their stress.
The way the vet explained to me is that everyDog has a seizure threshold. In most dogs - dogs that are healthy and not epilepsy - seizure threshold is high. The stimulation can be much longer before you can tolerate. However, in dogs with epilepsy, the seizure threshold is much lower. Stimulation, that I would not have another dog I can send the dog in an attack. Medication helps to increase the threshold, but can not increase the threshold as high as they are "normal" dogs.
