A year ago I bought a 7 wk. old Yorkie from a breeder I trusted, and 7 days later it started having seizures. They checked for low sugar levels, bile acids (liver), they did abdominal sonogram and lots of blood work and still my vet would not give me a diagnosis of epilepsy (?). My next option was to go to a neurological specialist in another county to rule out a brain mass. My vet said that when they are so young and already having seizures it is more than likely a consequence of something else. Epilepsy with no underlying cause is usually seen when they are 6 months or older. I did get a second opinion and both vets urged me to return the puppy back to the breeder. I never heard from the breeder again. It did not end on good terms. The breeder would not refund me. If you have any other questions PM me. Lots of luck to you and your baby
Hummmmm..
Sound like what I went through.
but the pup I bought at 5 months started having them at 7 months.
The Vet ran all testing ..no known cause.
He said he just wasn't wired right in the head.
Dealing with the breeder he came from, did not end well either.
