[StewiesMom]

I am waiting to get in to see my vet. Stewie had a seizure on Sunday. He's three and a half years old. He had one before, but I didn't recognize it to be a seizure (this was 4 or so months ago). I thought that he had just gotten stepped on and hurt his leg, since he laid on his back, shook like he was scared, and pulled one of his front legs close to his body. Now that he had almost an exact same episode and I know he did not get stepped on or hurt, I did some research and diagnosed him myself to have epilepsy. The seizures seem to have been both classified as petit mal.

He does not have liver shunt. He has had the two seizures when he got beyond excited - once when he was playing with the other two dogs, and once when the doorbell rang and he thought someone was coming in.

I am so surprised and sad. I hope that it does not happen anymore, but its not like I could try to calm down a Yorkie - we alll know that's nearly impossible at most times. It is the most scary experience I've ever had. I've cried hysterically both times, which I bet don't help calm Stewie down. I didn't think that something like this could hapen to me or my baby, but I was wrong.
