Free Webinar Reveals Lifesaving Seizure Tips Every Dog Owner Needs to Know

Dog owners navigating the uncertainty of seizures know how frightening and confusing these moments can be. Veterinary professionals face those same challenges daily — often in high-pressure, time-sensitive situations. On December 10, 2025, at 8:00 PM EST, a free online webinar aims to bridge that knowledge gap for everyone who loves or cares for dogs.

Hosted through VetandTech.com and titled “Management of Seizures in Dogs,” the event offers a rare opportunity to learn directly from one of the leading voices in veterinary neurology: Karen R. Munana, DVM, MS, DACVIM (Neurology) of the NC State College of Veterinary Medicine. The session is RACE Registry Approved Continuing Education and provides 1 CE credit, making it ideal for veterinary teams — and deeply valuable for informed pet owners, too.

Understanding a Complex Condition

Seizures are one of the most common neurological disorders diagnosed in dogs, but the path toward effective management is rarely straightforward. This webinar breaks down the latest scientific understanding of epilepsy using clear, evidence-based guidelines.

Topics include:

• Updated, currently accepted epilepsy terminology
• When and why treatment should begin
• How to choose the right maintenance therapy
• How to evaluate whether a treatment plan is actually working
• What drug-resistant epilepsy means — and what your options are

Through real-world applications and clinical insights, attendees gain a practical grasp on concepts that often feel overwhelming.

Building Smarter Treatment Plans

One of the most important aspects of epilepsy management is creating a rational, individualized treatment plan. Dr. Munana will explore:

• Monotherapy vs. polytherapy (one medication vs. combination)
• Monitoring drug levels and adjusting doses
• Long-term expectations for dogs living with epilepsy
• Tools to measure treatment success

These insights help both professionals and families approach epilepsy with confidence rather than fear.

Emergency Situations – What Every Dog Owner Should Know

The webinar also addresses one of the scariest realities of canine epilepsy — emergency seizure events. Attendees will learn step-by-step protocols for:

• Handling seizures safely at home
• Knowing when immediate veterinary intervention is required
• Understanding hospital-based emergency treatment options

These guidelines can genuinely save a dog’s life.

Who Should Attend?

This event is designed for:

• Veterinarians and vet techs seeking CE credit
• Students and professionals specializing in neurology
• Rescue groups and foster caregivers
• Dog owners whose pets experience seizures
• Anyone wanting a reliable, science-based understanding of epilepsy

Registration is free through Vet and Tech, and the learning format is accessible and beginner-friendly.

Why This Matters for Las Vegas Dog Owners

While this is a national event, it holds particular value for Las Vegas dog owners. Our region’s desert heat, allergens, stress triggers and emergency-clinic shortages can all complicate seizure cases. Understanding how to recognize symptoms early, how to respond safely at home, and when to get urgent veterinary care can make a tremendous difference.
