[QUOTE="VanC, post: 404287, member: 3355"] Andi- Sorry to hear of your situation. I don't know if this is relevant but I'll tell the story anyway. My wife has shown Alaskan Malamutes for over 20 years. In that time she's had 2 bitches that suffered from Grand mal seizures. It's certainly a terrible thing to see. Neither started having them till they were about 5 years old. I can't remember what the vet called it, but it was some kind of genetic defect. Yes, they were related, but fairly distantly. We were able to control them for a couple of years with Phenobarbitol, but they developed some sort of immunity to it. It got to the point where we had to drug them to the point of being zombies and they'd still have a seizure once in awhile. At that point it was best to put them down so that's what we did. Maybe should have done it sooner. They were beautiful dogs in their prime and my wife was heartbroken. Anyway, I know there's really no point to this except I sort of know what you're going through. I can't offer any advice for you, but I wish you luck. [/QUOTE]
