My usually dopey springer x has had 3 major seizures in the last eight months. Full on dropping to the floor, rigid, shaking, doubly incontinent, snarling aggressive seizures. We thought the first two were caused by chewing ornamental grass but the third happened in the middle of the night, many months after the grass was destroyed.
Blood tests have come back normal and now the vet is talking about anti-epilepsy meds.
Does anyone have an epileptic dog? How easy (or not) is it to manage in day to day life? I'm concerned about him going to his doggy day care on holiday and being aggressive when he comes out of the seizure.
It's early days so I haven't had time to weigh up the pros and cons.
I would appreciate some help, please!
