In a recent study in Scientific Reports, the researchers reveal that dogs can detect seizures through smell. In some cases, the pooches were 100% accurate in picking up the odor of a seizure.
Dogs can detect epileptic seizures up to 45 minutes before they occur. That's thanks to their incredible noses, new research shows. A canine nose can smell odor molecules in the parts per trillion, including those the human body releases during a seizure.There are good boys, and then there are very good boys like these dogs here. They're searching for a scent that no human can detect: the scent of an epileptic seizure.
That marker, they believed, was a scent that dogs can detect. So in 2018, they set up an experiment. First, they collected dozen of samples of breath and sweat from people with different forms of epilepsy. Some of them were taken during or right after a seizure, while others were collected after exercise or at rest.
Three of the dogs, Casey, Dodger, and Zoey, sniffed out the odor associated with seizure with 100% accuracy. The two other pups, Lana and Roo, who had less time to train, weren't quite as accurate. But they still correctly identified two-thirds of the seizure samples on their first try.
