Some of these problems are: pain, loss of vision, psychological problems, hepatic or renal etc. If you notice your dog is uncomfortable you should get him a check up to discard any possibilities. There also exists a type of epilepsy which causes a dog to react violently instead of having the typical convulsions that normally occur with this disease.Dogs with this problem have glossy eyes and they do not even seem to recognize their own owners; they growl, and bite at the air. After the "attack" ends, the dog goes back to his normal state as if nothing had happened. Epileptic attacks are caused many times as reactions to certain loud noises, shinning lights etc, and they usually occur when the dog is in a relaxed state, resting, or has just woken up. If you notice this kind of behavior in your dog, talk to your veterinarian at once.
