Max had his first seizure when he was 11 weeks old. Epilepsy is only diagnosed by ruling everything else out. I think it's great that you are proactive. You'll probably want to do blood work, including a Bile Acid test which will help determine a possible liver shunt, in which seizures are a common symptom. But like I said before, Tye has been doing great for about a year so it may be nothing to worry about. Hopefully the little lump is not a big deal either.

I tend to spend wayyyyyy more money at the vet than I should because I always request the maximum amount of tests even when not necessary. Maybe that would put you at ease? I think my vet said that 2 seizures per month would constitute meds.
