Anna Lane Webboard User Reg: 01-05-2012 Posts: 4 Loc: Offline	My GSD is a 5yr old male. Never had a seizure until a month ago. It lasted about a minute and he was fine. Today he had 3 bout 6hrs apart. only lasting 30seconds to a minute. I was told this could be enviromental. we are remodelling and there is alot of old paint and drywall dust/ Could this be the problem? Anyone go through this

Is anything else happening (GI symptoms)? Do you have kids? I'd check the dog asap (like tomorrow) and then if he has lead poisoning the whole family needs to get to the doctor. (A dog will lick falling or airborne material off his fur, so he would often be affected first.) I'll find you some material.

Three seizures in a day needs a vet visit asap, and adding in the lead suspicion would make it something to check on right away for the sake of the dog and the kids. JMO. I'm not a health professional. Let us know, OK? Good luck.
