Yes, in fact, supplementing with MCT oil has been shown not only to decrease seizure activity but also to have a neuroprotective effect in some epileptic dogs.  Numerous studies have shown that dogs fed a diet rich in added MCTs experienced a significant decrease in the frequency and severity of their seizure activity. A small percentage of dogs actually experienced a complete cessation of seizure activity while they were on the MCT-rich diet. These findings strengthen the notion that, overall, MCTs may play a supportive role in the treatment of canine epilepsy.
