Sorry there was no answer. Hope this next round kicks whatever it is. Have you changed the dog food? I would sure be trying something new if you haven't already. A single ingredient food would be good.

That was my first thought/suggestion.
I have a friend who's dog had seizures on a particular dog food. I told him to take her off the food and nothing since.
That is one of the first things most vets do.
Rule out the simplest possible causes first.

At this point who knows

Really hoping they find find something!

On top of everything else you are dealing with, you get fleas on top of that! I hate fleas and I hate them even more in the house. Grrrr.... I hope you can find out what is causing your dog's problems. It seems like a riddle with no answer. Bit hugs.

We will be working on changing the food. Rumely had a super sensitive tummy and tbis was all that worked. It turns out it is rosemary free (a seizure trigger) it is also one of the top foods people switch epileptic dogs to. We don't have the option to feed raw at the moment but I am looking into some other options. My best option that met everythibg on my list sadly has rosemary and that is a no no for epileptics. Right now we hope we found the cause but I am proceeding as if she has epilepsy. I do believe that something was causing them.

From what you have said- it seems that there MUST be some factor causing it. But at this point who knows what the cause is. So frustrating

All the other pups are still fine, right?

Completely fine. All of them. Even Rumely's siblings and parents. All I can do is keep searching and keep pushing but basically the itching (pre fleas and fleas are gone already) was gone and started to come back after two days off of the antibiotics. We are keeping her on the anti seizure meds. for the time being. All we can do is wait at this point....

I didn't know that about rosemary. Interesting. It seems like you are at least closer to finding an answer.

We are nearing the 2.5 week mark since her last episode. It was 2 weeks on Tuesday... they usually happen between 2.5 and 3 weeks apart. I HATE waiting!

Hopefully it will be in the 'Rearview Mirror' so ya can move Forward....just hoping that ya are waiting for Nothing to occur....
