Hi Marie,

I have a yellow lab that suffered two seizures at age 4, 
and has not to my knowledge had another once since. Other 
than the fact she eats rocks (which are everywhere) and 
has almost no teeth left, she is still going strong at age 
12. I took her to Texas A&M's veterinary school for all 
kinds of tests and they could not figure anything out. 
That's not to say you shouldn't try, but a comfort to know 
it may all turn out OK.

I've had a couple of friends recently with older dogs that 
had seizures and were diagnosed with Cushings, some kind 
of pituitary tumor, and neither dogs survived the medicine 
which seemed very drastic like some of the toxic cancer 
drugs. I think if my dog were diagnosed with that I would 
look to a more holistic solution.

I'll hold Louie in my thoughts.
