Rage syndrome is a rare seizure disorder in dogs, characterized by explosive aggression.[1][2][3]

It is frequently confused with idiopathic aggression, a term for aggression with no identifiable cause. Rage syndrome is most often a misdiagnosis of dogs with an unrelated, but more common, form of aggression. Although the scientific evidence is limited, it is thought to be genetic in origin, and is heritable.[4] It is treated with antiepileptics.[5]
