She's had full serum chem panels, bile acids, uranalysis and they didn't feel that her fall was the cause of her seizures. They were swaying with idopathic by heredity. When I check back in with my regular vet I'll ask about a spinal and MRI.

I've been with the same vet since our first dog in 1999 and trust them completely, I'm not too concerned with their diagnosis at the emergency hospital, since our normal vet is her primary care vet and she'll be following up with him this week, then again, after to test the pheno levels.
