While this may be true in most cases, it is not with me. After running neurological tests on my puppy Max including an MRI, spinal tap and all bloodwork, he was diagnosed with idiopathic seizures. There is no cause.
I definitely agree that testing needs to be done to try to find an underlying cause, if there is indeed one.
To the OP - my puppy is on phenobarbital and has not had any seizures since we regulated his levels. However, seizures cannot be treated until you know why they are happening. In my case, idiopathic was our answer. I hope that you are able to get some answers soon and start whatever treatment is necessary.
