PLEASE READ THIS BEFORE VIEWING PHOTOS

CECS can manifest itself in many different ways depending on the severity of the episode or seizure. Therefore, it is difficult to depict all the different variations of the symptoms that this disease can cause. The following photos show just a few variations. For further information, please see Symptoms on this web site. Thank you.

No photographs may be reproduced in any manner whatsoever without written permission from the site owner. These photographs are case sensitive in nature and the owners of the dogs must be consulted through the site owner before being reproduced in any manner. Thank you.

If you have a dog who has had or is having episodes of this nature, it would be most helpful if you could take photos or videos of him/her while he/she is experiencing an episode. Try to get as close to the dog as possible and if you have time, try to open windows or turn on lights to help make the photos clearer. Getting a close up of the dog's expression is important as well.

If you have photos or videos you would like to submit, please send them to Kris Blake.
