My dog Snoopy has been having seizures since last August. He had about 5 then and then didn't have any until Easter of this year. He usually has clusters meaning every few hours he has one once they start. The vet has given me Valium to give him when he comes out of one so he doesn't have the clusters any more. Since Easter he has had at least two more.

When he started having them, they ran tests but did not really find any reason he was having them. Because he does have them as clusters, he is on phenabarbital. The vet says some dogs just have them and there really is not much you can do about it. It does seem to help Snoopy if I talk gently to him and keep petting him while he is having one. He seems to come out of it faster and doesn't seem so scared.

Good luck. I think it is worse on us than them - it is so scary seeing them like that. Hang it there!
