Our 14yr old Border Terrier has suffered with Canine Epilepsy (Spykes Syndrome) all her life and takes epiphen to control her seizures.(twice per day)
During a vets trip at the weekend the vet suggested adding Coconut Oil to her diet (dogs, not the vet's) and to try substituting her evening tablet to see how she gets on.
Epiphen can cause kidney issues and our dogs was slightly raised at her last blood test.
So if anyone has a pooch suffering it may be worth mentioning to your vet to see if Coconut Oil can help.
It was news to us.

<h1 class="post-title">Dogs with Epilepsy and Coconut Oil</h1>
Going to be a a bit tricky to catch isn’t it?
So what is the coconut oil doing?
I've been giving my dog CBD oil for the past 6odd years as he damaged his cruciate ligament when he got caught in a snare and it's also hugely beneficial for his joints, a mate also treats all his dogs (two spaniels/two pointers) with CBD oil as an aid to their health. Â Not all CBD oil on the market is the genuine extraction though as some are nothing more than cold pressed extractions from hemp seeds with are ineffective when compared to full entourage extraction oils CO2 extracted from high CBD content hemp flowers, unfortunately the genuine high CBD oils are quite expensive but worth it.
Needless to say i've been using it for years as well but that's another discussion.
Some research here..
No there isn't.
1) the linked article references a single study using 21 dogs in total. So, statistically worthless.
2) I can't see any mention of coconut oil anywhere in the study,
3) based on Chinese "medicine"? Give me a break.
4) the article equates MCT oil and coconut oil as being the same thing. They aren't, any more than H20 and H2SO4 are.
5) MCT is mentioned once in the study. CBD isn't mentioned at all.
