Cluster seizures is more than one seizure in a 24 hour period. Two seizures in a 24 hour period are "cluster seizures" according to Dr. William Thomas, a board certified neurologist.
Because cluster seizures are so dangerous and can cause brain damage, or worse, there is the rectal and oral valium protocol which has the ability of stopping cluster seizures and limiting it to the one original seizure. To be most effective, it is necessary to use both the liquid and oral valium/diazepam.
It is important to give a dose of liquid valium as soon as possible after a seizure. Many people administer the rectal valium while the dog is seizing, and run to get it when they are sure the dog will not harm himself during the seizure. It is important to use both rectal and oral valium so you should have your veterinarian read the published information about the rectal and oral valium protocol.
