A brain tumour is a lump created by an abnormal and uncontrolled growth of cells. It can either be malignant (cancerous) or benign.
Brain tumours are rare. Around 2000 men and 1500 women are diagnosed with a brain tumour each year in the UK.1,2 Brain tumours can occur at any age but are more common in children under 12 and adults over 40.3
About brain tumours
Brain tumours grow from brain cells.
Malignant brain tumours can spread out of the brain and invade surrounding tissue. They rarely spread to other parts of the body.
Benign tumours do not spread to other parts of the body and so are not cancerous. However, if they continue to grow in the brain, they may cause a problem by pressing on the brain structures.4 Both malignant and benign tumours can be harmful because they increase pressure in the skull.
Brain tumours can be primary or secondary.

a seizure is a very tricky thing that science still doesn't really know what causes it. thats why most dogs suffer from idiopathic epilepsy (no known cause). you should take your dog to the vet to get a prescription for an anticonvulsant like phenobarbital or potassium bromide. the vet i work with has a theory that some seizures are related to a dogs diet. if your dog vomits or has diarrhea every know and then, he could be suffering from inflammatory bowel disease. this is basically a food allergy. he thinks that when dogs suffer from this, the nutrients in the food pass trough the intestines to fast and the body cant absorb them. this doesnt allow all the necessary nutrients to reach the brain thus causing the seizures. you can try to switch your food to lamb and rice to only have two ingredients in the food (the brand doesnt matter). once again this is just a theory.
