As far as the poor prognosis is concerned:
The biggest rule in any medical field is they CANNOT give false hope. Being an EMT at the fire department, this is drilled into our heads.
Because they didn't find anything indefinately, they have to give us a "guess" based on experience. This is very very rare. The vet school as LSU has some of the best vets in the US. The neurologist she saw is the best in the country. Still they couldn't pinpoint the problem. But because of her history, and b/c of the siezures not having any definate cause, and her size and age, they have to give a poor prognosis.
They basically send her home, to let her be the judge. They just told us to watch her clinical signs and let them be the judge of her recovery.
