| Please help me he keeps fitting first of all hello im new here hope you are all ok. my yorkie, skamp is about 13 years old and two weeks ago for the first time he had a fit. i took him to the vets and she said that his heart was a little fast and put him on some tablets for epilepsy (sp). last week we went back and saw a different vet and he said that fitting in old dogs is normally something wrong with the brain and took some blood to get tested he also took him off the tablets. tonight he had his second fit he has a vets app on thurs but im going to call tomorrow and see if they can move it forward. but i just wondered if anyone might be able to put my mind at rest his not been off his food or anything and never really been an energectic dog. has anyone else had this before if so how did it turn out i need to know what is going to happen. his my first baby ive had him since i was seven im so worried please help if you can ty |

| I haven't had any experience with it, but I am sure someone on here has. That is so hard to see your baby not feeling well. Prayers coming your way for Skamp's quick recovery.

| seizures When seizures begin in an older dog who hasn't had seizures before it is often from a brain tumor or stroke. Your dog definately needs to be worked up by your vet to find the cause of his seizures. Ususally a dog develops epilepsy between 1 and 5 years of age. |

| I know what you are going though. Having a senior dog myself you tend to worry a lot more. Hopefully Skamp will be ok. Toby and me are pulling for him. Good Luck, we'll be praying for him! |

| I'll be thinking for you when you go to the vet tomorrow and I'll say a prayer and hope the blood tests turn out well.
