Leah,

Thanks for your thoughtful response. Of course, you may be right that the timing of the first seizure and the administration of Interceptor may be a "big coincidence." I have heard, however, from several other people who have had similar experiences. But as you say, who's to know. I am interested in your statement about the petite mal. If you found my description of Sugar's seizures to fit this category of seizure, why is it that my vet couldn't figure it out??? His first diagnosis was that "perhaps" it was some form of narcolepsy, saying that it wasn't epilepsy because an epileptic seizure wouldn't continue for an hour??? Of course,we're keeping her on the potassium bromide. We've discovered, quite by accident, that we can create a distractor that helps quiet the seizures. Since Sugar was prancing around the kitchen, unable to stop moving and banging her nose on the floor, I put her in her crate and sat with her. I saw a bit of fluff (dog hair of course) beside the crate and swept it up with my hand. Sugar focused on my hand movement and was able to quiet herself and the seizures were reduced to a simple head twitching. My husband tried the same thing yesterday and again, she quieted and the seizure was much less severe. Have you ever heard of this? Sheila
