Over a month ago, my Collie, Oz started having what seemed like lil' seizures. He didn't foam at the mouth or have bowel problems, but he'd shake and lose the ability to move his legs correctly, like they were rubber. Very scary. I took him to the vet and it really didn't seem very scientific how they find out the cause, sort of by elimination. If they eliminate everything from brain tumors to heartworms, etc. then it's epilepsy.

The vet did say that minor seizures would not cause brain damage and that he didn't recommend medication, unless they were severe and often. He did a blood test that came back normal and said just to watch Oz and if they increased to bring Oz back. Not much help actually.

Well at this same time, Gull was having diarreha problems on and off. At first I thought it was related, but his turned out to be a bacterial infection, that we fixed with antibotics. But I was trying to figure out what could be different in Oz's life that could have triggered these seizures and I started thinking about how much extra cleaning I'd been doing because of Gull's problem and the vet did say that chemicals could cause seizures.

I went over the entire floor with vinegar and water and will only use that for cleaning the floor from now on. It's been about a month and Oz hasn't had another seizure. *knocking on wood* Edited to add: that he'd had 4 in about a week and a half, so going a month without one, seems very promising to me.
