Great post drawlins27! My blk lab of 15 years had seizures. He didn't get them until after he was 1 yr old. It really freaked me out to see him the first few times. I think he had the Grand Mal ones. The best thing you can do is keep calm. I don't know what the Dr's will tell you, but I always laid down with Lucky when he had them. It seemed to help. I always talked to him in a soft voice and told him "it would be ok". He was put on the medication and then he only had the Petit Mal a couple times a year after that. He lived a full and happy life. Actually, the last few years we took him off the meds completely. He was all mellowed out. Please don't let this "get" to you. He's still the same Stewie Oh, the only other thing I would offer is... always go with your gut. When they first put Lucky on the meds he seemed too drugged up, I mentioned it to the vet and he was great. They go by body weight but if you feel they need less or more... tell them. Every dog is different - just like people.
Good Luck & God Bless....
