Idiopathic epilepsy, the most common cause of seizures in the dog.. There are many causes of seizures. Idiopathic epilepsy, the most common cause of seizures in the dog, is an inherited disorder, but its exact cause is unknown. Other causes include liver disease, kidney failure, brain tumors, brain trauma, or toxins.
People are diagnosed with epilepsy when they have seizures that occur more than once without such a specific cause. In most cases -- about seven out of 10 -- the cause of the seizures can't be identified. This type of seizure is called idiopathic or cryptogenic, meaning that we don't know what causes them. The problem may be with an uncontrolled firing of neurons in the brain that triggers a seizure. Genetic research is teaching doctors more and more about what causes different types of seizures.
