Canine Epilepsy Posted: 12-17-03 10:40am


I know this is for people, but I need comments from you for help in dealing with canine epilepsy. My 4.5 pound; 2 year old female chihuahua has epilepsy. She started in oct. Of 2003. It is called idiopathic epilepsy. They are grand mals. The vet put her on pheno. We are slowly increasing her dosage. She is averaging at least 1 - 2 seizures a week. The questions are - do you have any suggestions for control? Does she feel any bad effects while seizuring or afterwards? Are we being cruel in not putting her down? Thanks for any help or comments.
