If your dog goes on medication for seizures, there is a high likelihood of weight gain. Because of this, many veterinarians recommend specific diet plans. Forego salty treats. Foods and treats with a lot of salt can actually cause your dog to have a seizure if they are on potassium bromide, so cut them out of the diet.
What is Lymphedema? 1  Lymphedema is swelling in one or more of the arms or legs that arises due to damage or poor function of the lymphatic system.  The lymphatic system is a network of vessels that course throughout the body to collect excess fluid as well as waste products.
Swollen legs can be caused by lymphodema. In addition to arteries which supply the leg with blood and veins that take the blood from the leg, a lymphatic system clears materials which escape from the circulation. If your lymphatic system is poorly developed or becomes blocked, you are at risk of developing swelling.
