Yes but apparently the "methodology" of seizure severity decision making (or some nonsense liek that!) tracks seizure activity in a 48 hour period so apparently that's not a big deal...well to some people, to me it's huge, one seizure is huge let alone 3-5 like I said some 2 minutes apart some two hours apart in sets of 3-5 which once was 16 hours of seizure ranging up to 6 hours apart and mini "trembles" in between. I had to keep a log of his seizures for 90 days (I still keep it even now though) I write down the first seizure note the time, duration of seizure, he response check list in making sure he's out of it and then wait for the next one and track the same until they stop, Elvie was attached to my hip (we even broke the grocery store rules and he came in with me-in a doggy carrier that looks like a giant purse of course though) for about 5 months. After that life well pened I feel okay about leaving him home, but I kennel the other two dogs when I go out because I have seen how they react when he has a seizure-nothing has happened besides growling at him so far and I plan on keeping it that way...anyways I have come home a few times after an outing and noticed he seemed to have had a seizure when I was gone so I note it and wait for the next-it is never just one. But I've only had Elvis about a year now and so he's only had 3 episodes I've witness and one I think I wasn't home for. I'm really glad I got the support in people's reactions from here that this doesn't seem right so I don't feel like a hypochondriac going back to the vet demanding we do more.
