[QUOTE="Dirty, post: 296230, member: 6535"] Hey fellas. I have a lab who just turned 10 months old. She has idiopathic epilepsy and her latest cluster of seizures last night lasted an hour and were more violent than ever. Her seizures have all been cluster seizures. I will be setting up a vet appointment today again but I was wondering what some of your experiences are. She is such a good dog but she deserves a better life than this and frankly, I don't think that my family or I can handle it like this much longer. The dog definitely knows they are happening and it is physically and emotionally so stressful on her. They are getting more frequent (a week apart now) and I'm waiting for her to bite her tongue off one of these times or break a bone in the process. I gave her a med rectally to stop them last night and I think it did help but I don't want to just treat the seizures. My two options are finding a preventative treatment that I can afford or putting her down. She is an unbelievable dog so I really, really, hope the former is an option. I don't believe from what I've read, given her particular age and seizure circumstances, that her prognosis is very good. Please just let me know if you've dealt with this, found any good preventative meds, etc. Thanks in advance. [/QUOTE]
