I hold him and comfort him during the seizures. It is just a part of him, Tico has epilepsy. We can't know for sure what they feel during the seizure. Tico has enjoyed his life. He loves playing walks and otherwise being a feisty Yorkie. I just wanted to encourage you that even if your Teddy has more seizures he can still live a long and happy life.  |
This is definitely so encouraging! I know that Ladymom's dog Lady has lived a long and good life with epilepsy also. I hope my Teddy does as well. His life is a good one, for no matter how long he is here, and that is all I really want for him. I just am not sure that I will ever be comfortable with watching him have a seizure. It just is very scary and upsetting.
