About this episode

The episode discusses insulin-induced hypoglycemic seizures in dogs and the implications for long-term antiepileptic drug therapy based on new data.

In today’s VETgirl online veterinary continuing education podcast , we review new 2025 data on insulin-induced hypoglycemic seizures in dogs and ask whether seizures at presentation translate into poor long-term neurologic outcomes and need for continued antiepileptic drug (AED) therapy. Tune in for a practical look at insulin-induced hypoglycemic seizures, who benefited from antiepileptic drugs, and how this study can help guide stabilization, monitoring, and discharge decisions in these dogs.
