Trish R
My dog has had seizures since he was a puppy, but they've gotten worse over the past year. Today, the vet said he is at the age where he might not survive many more. :-(

I'm sorry Trish. Is this your silly doggy with the sleeve? He's beautiful. - Admiral Anika
=( Oh no...I'm sorry, Trish - Anna Haro
Yeah, same one. - Trish R
:( Big hugs to you and the dog. - Laura B.
How Old is he? - Amir
sorry to hear that :( - YoYo_P
He'll be 10 in October. - Trish R
I'm so sorry, Trish. - Maria Niles
I had a cat that had seizures and he ended dying from one. :( Are there any ani-seizure meds you can put him on? - Kelly W.
Aw, Trish. :( - Alix Whitmire
Kelly, he can take medication, but the doctor said it causes more damage than the seizures do and can also harm their internal organs. - Trish R
:*( - Hel Hel
Oh no! Are there any medications that act as anti-convulsants in dogs? I hope your vet is wrong. <3 - joey from Nambu
He's a cutie pie. Wish there was more than could be done for him. xo - Fossil Huntress
There's always the chance the vet is giving me the worst case scenario. Last year, he had a really bad seizure that lasted longer than the others and the vet ran some tests, thinking he might have to be put down, and everything turned out ok. So here's hoping she's wrong! - Trish R
Heres hoping they (the vets) are wrong. - Brent - Loving Life
Ugh, Trish--that really stinks. :( I know how hard it is watching them go through those seizures too. :( Give that cute pup a big hug for me... - Kelly W.
:( Oh sweet puppy. I'm so sorry, Trish. - Carmen, blizzard survivor
I feel bad now I called him an idiot for getting stuck in the shirt sleeve. Luckily dogs are very forgiving. :-) - Trish R
Sorry to hear :( that and trust that the vet is wrong or he defies the odds so you two can love and enjoy each others company. :) - James Stratford
James, I hope so, too. The vet didn't say "the next seizure will be his last," but she said that he's going to have more and more trouble snapping out of them as quickly as he has in the past, until they eventually weaken him to the point where he can't snap back anymore. :-( - Trish R
sorry to hear that. that's very sad news. hope things get better - Cee Bee
oh boo :( :( - BEX
Sorry Trish :((((. - Trish Haley
Hugs to you and your wiener dog. He's SO cute! - Lisa L. Seifert
Sorry to hear that Trish. My aunt had a German Shepherd that suffered from seizures too. It's terrible. - Alejandro
Very sad to hear. I had a dog on long-term epilepsy treatment with phenobarbital. - Kevin Johnson
:( - David Cook
aww. Trish, I'm sorry to hear that. - ♥patricia♥
How sad. Hope for the best for him. - Anne Bouey
I went through the same ordeal a while back. I wish you a little guy the best ;-) - Brad Williamson
Oh, I hate to hear that, Trish. I hope the vet's being overly cautious and the little guy bounces back strong. - Ayşe E.
Awwww ... Pup! :-( - Chris Baskind
"Like" doesn't do justice here, does it? ☹ - Hiro Asari
Poor thing - Rodfather
I hope that all works out for your lil weiner dog. :-) - Mathew A. Koeneker
So sorry to hear that. *hugs* - Bonita Garrabrant
I too am sorry to hear that. We had a dog as I was growing up with seizures also. I know where you are coming from. - Kreg Steppe
:-( I'm so sorry, Trish. - Ladybug Heather
:( <HUGS> - Parth Awasthi
Hopefully you can make the time you have with him as enjoyable as possible (for both of you). - FFing Enigma (aka Tina)
