matese - I've just moved out to Long Island after my recent break up, and I haven't yet had the chance to fully investigate the vets around here. Now that I'm on my own, I believe I can do that the right way. It's on the list of things to do for this week. It's heartening to know that your Yorkie lived to 13 (and sad to know she's gone... Yorkies are special animals). This guy is only 6, and he's already having such issues with it. I'm with you on the "keep him calm" plan. I try not to let him to far out of my sight. His spirit is so young, and he wants to play. His episodes are due mostly to his own desire to enjoy his life, I think.

Have they tried lower dose? Sammy takes half a pill in the morning and half at night.
