My dog has had 3 seizures till now in 25 days. 25 days back pit bull attacked on him and jostled my dog for 4 minutes. Though no external injuries but internally it pained him but no fractures. Since then my dog is having seizures. Today my dog was sleeping on the couch when he had seizure and he fell from the couch. He abrasion on his nose and bled little bit. But some blood came out of his saliva also, which I am confused that the blood.was from injury or from saliva. He is sleepingcomfortably

Hi there and thank you for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach to address your concern. I am sorry to hear that Fluffy is dealing with seizures. The bleeding from the mouth could be due to trauma inside the mouth from either the seizures causing him to bite himself in his mouth or from falling off of the couch. Because he is having more frequent seizures, I would recommend having him examined by a veterinarian so that the most appropriate diagnostic and treatment recommendations can be made. He may need to be on an anti-seizure medication. I hope this helps guide you in the right direction. Please let me know if you have any other questions or concerns and I would be more than happy to help you further.
