Fitting screaming dog

Putting here for traffic so apologies if this is wrong.

My elderly chihuahua has had two seizures that I know of. I witnessed one today.

She went stiff and shaky and made this awful sound of screaming. A noise she's never made. Was that pain or fear, I don't know.

She lost control of her faculties after but she doesn't have much control these days anyway.

Has anyone else experienced this and if so how did you deal with it.

I accept this may the end of the road for her as she has multiple health issues and I'm not prepared to put her through extensive tests.

I must state that she seems very happy and responsive even when dealing with her problems.

Many thanks.

My cat, at the age of 20, lost her hearing, sight and then started having seizures. We took her to the vets who discussed managing her condition and judging her quality of life by observing how well she was still able to maintain herself and we were also told to time the seizures.

She stopped cleaning her fur, just wanted to stay in the same chair all the time and her seizures were getting longer when we made the call to put her to sleep. It was horrifically sad but she was not the same cat anymore and was clearly starting to struggle.
