I am a very strong advocate of "cut to the chase"! We know we have this issue, we know what apparently caused it initially, and now that they are changing in character...frequency, duration, etc., time for a SPECIALIST!
Cant find a neuro.specialist near you? Go to the nearest vet school, where they have specialist and equipment to accurately diagnose and treat issues. Prayers for your little girl...this is all so emotionally draining for you, as well as what effects it is having on the baby....just get her to a specialist and they can guide you effectively through a course of action. They will also be up to date on all the best medications for this particular situation and dog.
