It's what it said when I looked into online about epilepsy and seizure dogs, that we have a odor I don't know if we notice it, but they can, and a dog can tell up to 45 minutes before you have one. Interesting I think, my opinion

I have a service furry and before I have a seizure he tries to get me to sit or go to bed if I'm in bed he's right behind me to make sure I'm on my side before I get a seizure I get a strong smell of glue I'm the only one aware of the smell if I'm alone in my bedroom he will alert my son

I really don’t know. Never thought of it. But just now thought we might because of the epilepsy dogs picking up on a different smell we may give off. I always thought these dogs picked up on the change in our electrical activity.
