I'm so sorry about this, Pat. When my dog Charmin had seizures, if I softly called her name close to her ear, she would come out of the seizure but she hardly had any after we got the phenolbarbitol dosage worked out. Grace is right, though; what could happen if he had the seizures while you were gone? Scary to think about but definitely something to consider. I do hope that the medication can stop the seizures. He may be limited but if the seizures stop, he could have a happy, secure life w/you. Many prayers going up for Christofur and you right now. Keep the faythe.
