(Source: NIH) Migraines and other primary headache disorders commonly affect people. There is evidence to suggest that migraines can occur in dogs. In this review, we present a dog with paroxysmal episodes that have a striking resemblance to human migraine, and we give an overview of migraine in people.
This May apply to Dogs as well:
Studied: 3,935 migraine patients and 1,163 with tension-type headaches.
Results: There were headaches triggered by plant foods. Headaches triggered by plant foods intake are distributed in the following order of frequency: watermelon (29.5%), passion fruit (3.73%), orange (2.01%), pineapple (1.52%), grape (0.51%), banana (0.46%), cucumber (0.43%), acerola (0.25%) and papaya (0.25%).
Conclusions: Many plant foods, especially watermelon, may trigger headache attacks in migraine patients within a few minutes.
