I got a puppy from a local breeder at 7 weeks (my mistake) and with no vet health certificate (I knew her personally). She gave me the puppy with pills in a ziplock bag and said it was for stress she never told me what the pills were for(but I trusted her). Once I stopped giving her the pills the seizures started maybe it was a coincidence. They were grandmal seizures every 3 days and little twitching ones with some foaming everyday. The puppy would walk around the house holding itself up with the wall and an arched back. I rushed it to the vet and she was there for overnight watch it was not hypoglycemia (as the breeder insisted) it was not liver shunt all the test were negative. The neurologist siad it could be Ideopathic epilepsy which means no underlying cause for it or epilepsy with an underlying cause. The neurologist tended to think that because of her age it was not ideopathic (that tends to happen in older puppies/dogs. She felt that it was congenital Neurological problem or a brain mass I started the puppy on seizure meds and it didnt work. So I contacted the breeder and the breeder refused to pay for the vet bills I only had the puppy for 10 days. I did get a letter from the vet saying it was an open diagnosis that needed further testing and she still refused she did give me the $ for the puppy back and told me she would euthanize the puppy. For months I have been heartbroken and I am still paying for the vet bills. The vet did tell me that I was looking at $3000 to $5000 I just couldnt afford it. After this I did get insurance. My prayers are with you because it is a very hard thing to go through. I am praying that your baby comes out of this fine
