Unfortunately I was one of the owners of an epileptic dog. My previous dog had epilepsy. The story started as an one seizure a tha age of 2,5 years and then nothing for half year. But then seizures started again and with shorter intervals. Moreover they occured in clusters. Treated with barbiturates and valproic acid derivates per os then when the worse came into worst with injections of diazepam to stop seizures. Finaly the life of my dog consisted of seizures every 4-5 hours and lying down on the floor without eating and drinking for days. Nothing helped he was unable to walk. I euthanized him no necropsy was done, maybe mistake but that time I was unable to send him to lab. The story is on pages of Czech kennel club. I don't blame his breeder it was probably the first case from all of her puppies.
