Doctor, sorry for texting you so late. My husky turning 4 this year, suddenly had a seizure yst, and today it happened 3 times. Before this she had a few seizures but were at least weeks apart. We saw that it’s common in husky and started to give her fish oil and it has been better and did not happen for more than a month before she suddenly fell and had a seizure yst. Will you be in the clinic tmr? Can I bring her down?

Her first seizure happened after a few days from the deticking in January and we were not sure if it’s because suddenly she felt very cold so we tried to keep her warm and calm.

(Dr Sing prescribe anti-fits medication for one month. Blood test showed no abnormalities. Normal liver and kidneys)

Doc.. Waffles have been well with no seizures the past 2 months.. even after we stop her meds.. but yet she suddenly had seizures at 6pm, 8.30pm. We gave her half a tablet again after the 2nd seizure. But she had another seizure at 2.30am and we gave her another half tablet at 10.20am this morning and she just had another seizure 5mins ago.

Scientific name for the plant is called Dracaena trifasciata

Looks like she did bite off the plants when we were not ard.

REPLY FROM DR SING KONG YUEN.

Thank you. Please remove plants. The owner came for a repeat prescription.

Hi doc, the seizures have stopped after 2.5 days from the first seizure. Same as the previous time when shot got a series of seizures. She is on 1/4 tablet Phenomav 100 mg two x/day. Previously we lowerered to 1/4 once a day but seizures recurred.

Is saponin toxic to humans?

Saponins are toxic chemicals that protect healthy plants from insect, fungal, and bacterial pathogens. For this reason, ingesting foods that contain saponins can cause toxicity in the human body. However, severe poisoning is rare.

Is a dracaena plant poisonous to dogs?

Corn plant (also known as cornstalk plant, dracaena, dragon tree, and ribbon plant) is toxic to dogs and cats. Saponin is the toxic chemical compound in this plant. If this plant is ingested, vomiting (with or without blood), appetite loss, depression, and/or increased salivation can occur.
