Taking a video of the seizures was a really good idea. I would also keep a journal. Write down the dates of her seizures and how long each one lasts. I'm sure all vets have different opinions on when medication should be started. The vets I work with usually tell people if they're having one every few months, they should be on medication. My Riley started having seizures at about 1 year old but they were far enough between that we didn't start him on meds until he was almost 4. The meds can definitely have bad side effects but it's not good for them to continue to have seizures either. Something else you could ask your vet about is if they will give you some Diazepam to keep on hand. Our vets will prescribe the injectable Diazepam but instead of injecting it, you give it rectally. It'll stop them from seizing very quickly. I always keep this on hand as a just in case. |
