Seizure Alert Dogs
Ikram M.F
Description
Seizure alert animals, like dogs, help during and after seizures and require training and upkeep. They aren't just pets and may stay with their owner for 8-9 years. The animals recognize seizures through sudden shifts in behavior and intense pacing, whining, or licking. Researchers also explore capturing seizure-associated scents. So, if you see a dog licking you intensely, it might be detecting something more exciting than just sweat or crumbs. <br /><br /><b>Recommendations</b><br /><ul><li>Abraham: We Have a Ghost (<a href="https://www.netflix.com/title/80230619" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">https://www.netflix.com/title/80230619</a>)</li><li>Shane: The Stand (So Far; <a href="https://stephenking.com/works/novel/stand.html" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">https://stephenking.com/works/novel/stand.html</a>)</li></ul><br /><b>Links</b><br /><a href="https://medicalmutts.org/how-to-train-a-seizure-alert-dog/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">How to Train a Seizure Alert Dog - Medical Mutts Service Dogs Inc.</a><br /><a href="https://epilepsyfoundation.org.au/understanding-epilepsy/epilepsy-and-seizure-management-tools/seizure-alert-dogs/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Seizure Alert Dogs | Epilepsy Foundation</a><br /><a href="https://k94life.org/seizure-alert/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Seizure Alert Service Dogs | Epilepsy Warning Dogs | CPL</a><a href="https://k94life.org/seizure-alert/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"> </a><a href="https://k94life.org/seizure-alert/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">(k94life.org)</a><br /><a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6279040/pdf/pone.0208280.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">*Dog alerting and/or responding to epileptic seizures: A scoping review</a><a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6279040/pdf/pone.0208280.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"> </a><a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6279040/pdf/pone.0208280.pdf" ta
