Have you ever heard of?

Question

Have you ever heard of something called WORM FITS? Where if a dog is fully infested with worms will have seizures?

its actually in Puppies (i put dogs)

My question is, have you ever heard of worm fits? Not my dog has them . I was at the vets office today and heard it mentioned and I asked about it, I was just wondering if anyone else heard of it?

Answer 1

I'd never heard that term but I did a quick Google search to see what that turned up. I found 'worm fits' mentioned on an old medical terminology page: "WORM FIT - convulsions associated with teething, worms, high temperature or diarrhea"
And: "A condition in puppies called "worm fits" can begin during heavy infestations with intestinal worms. The exact cause of the seizures is unknown. Perhaps it is due to a low blood sugar or serum calcium."

Answer 2

A heavy infestation of worms can cause seizures - also known as worm fits. It is totally preventable and there is no excuse for it happening.

Answer 3

Yes I have. It's sounds horrible! I've never personally seen it, but I remember my Grandmother mentioning it a time or two.

Answer 4

I have heard of it. But i don't think it causes seizures... You can check on google and figure it out. But it is probably is caused by fleas. Thats what i heard... Good luck!
