Bulldog with seizures

Mon, 05/08/2006 - 04:25
Hi, I'm new to this but I have a Bulldog that has had 6 seizures within 8 mos.. It is definately grand mall seizures, expelling body fluids and very disoriented afterwards. The vet just put her on a low dose of phenobarbital. It scares me to death everytime she has one because they are not regular, usually at night time when everyone is asleep. She sleeps in my bed so I know when she has one because she falls off the bed. She is getting spayed in June. I had shown her in AKC confirmation and has had 2 litters of pups. Does anyone know where I can get more info on this. Is it hereditary? I read around 2-3 yrs. old is when epiepsy is seen if dogs are to get it. Is this true? Has anyone had the same problem or seen anything like this? Thank you

My 11.6 yr old EB has had two seizures within a month. Each one almost killed her because she cannot breathe. I need help too.
