My 17 year old Yorkie had a few seizures about 6 months ago. We started medication and she never had another one. We quit the medication about 2 months ago and last night she had a seizure, barely got out of that and had another one. She paced around for awhile, settled down for about 5-10 min., got up and started circling, jerking her head to the side a couple of times like something was behind her, then went into another seizure. I thought this was going to be it. She finally came out of it & settled down. My husband & I don't know what todo or expect. She doesn't seem to be in any pain. At her age do we keep wasting $$$ & time going to the vet? It's a difficult decision. Any suggestions?
