When a dog starts having cluster seizures it's time for medication as that's when brain damage occurs. The electrical storms in their head generate so much heat it fries their brain if there is no respite in between.
Kindling is a phenomenon where the brain actually rewires itself every time it has a seizure to make a path so the next seizure is easier. That is why idiopathic epilepsy is generally a progressive disease. Elvis' seizures will just continue to get worse until one day the he won't come out of it or he has irreversible brain damage.
I agree with Karen. If your local vets aren't taking it seriously, ask for a referral to a neurologist. |
