If your dog goes on medication for seizures, there is a high likelihood of weight gain. Because of this, many veterinarians recommend specific diet plans. Forego salty treats. Foods and treats with a lot of salt can actually cause your dog to have a seizure if they are on potassium bromide, so cut them out of the diet.
What is Lymphedema? 1  Lymphedema is swelling in one or more of the arms or legs that arises due to damage or poor function of the lymphatic system.  The lymphatic system is a network of vessels that course throughout the body to collect excess fluid as well as waste products.
Lymphatic obstruction, or lymphedema, is a blockage in the lymphatic system. The lymphatic system is made up of lymph nodes and vessels that drain fluids from your bodyâs tissues. The fluids carry toxins and other waste products to your lymph nodes before your body eliminates them. Edema (swelling of the lymph nodes) is the most common cause of lymphatic blockage. The most common symptom of lymphatic obstruction is swelling in one or both of your arms or legs. You can be born with lymphatic obstruction, called primary lymphedema, or develop lymphedema as a secondary condition. Lymphatic obstruction is a chronic condition for most people.
