I hope you get his BAT results today. Liver shunts are the main concern when Yorkies have seizures so you want to rule that out first.

I am glad both LadyMom and Alldogboots addressed this issue with you because I was going to. Everything I have read about rosemary is that it is high amounts of rosemary oil that can cause seizures. There are other oils as well. Herbal Essential Oils | epilepsy.com

Teddy eats the CET dental chews and has been bathed in shampoo containing rosemary oil. I have rosemary plants in my garden. None have caused a seizure. He does not have a "trigger" at all in fact. I have not been advised by our neurologist to avoid rosemary for Teddy.
