Can dog epilepsy be contagious to people? Dog epilepsy is not contagious to people. There are only two types of canine epilepsy: primary, which is genetic, and secondary epilepsy, which may be caused by canine distemper. The symptoms of dog epilepsy are constant convulsions throughout the body, foaming at the mouth, incontinence, and a seemingly great deal of mental abnormality. When your dog has these problems, you can take your dog to the vet to be examined using an EEG or a head CT and then targeted treatment.
