Boone, who is almost 5 1/2, has been having seizures since he turned 4 1/2,
two weeks before major surgery on his neck to repair a compressed disk.
Since they began, they have averaged one about every month to two months.
However, he has just had 4 seizures in four weeks. They don't last
My thoughts and best wishes are with the people dealing with this difficult
health issue.
I have lived with 2 dogs that had seizures. The first was my Golden. He
had infrequent seizures that were never diagnosed or treated. The last 2
years of his life he quit having them. A mystery. He
Hi all,
I wrote a few weeks ago about Chance having seizures.
On the first day he had 4 and then a week later had 3
on the same day. I was suspecting salt.
I had set up an appointment with the vet, and had to
postpone it because of the snow storm that we had.
However, a week and a half after
Dear Stephanie,
I am sorry to hear of Emma's diagnosis. I'm assuming your vet made this via
protein levels in her blood. To confirm the diagnosis they need to do a
bile acid test and then a special dye xray to determine where the shunt in
the liver is. I had a puppy in my first litter with PSS and
Hi Stephanie, I thought about replying to your first questions about
seizures as my first Berner had a portosystemic shunt and had seizures. It
didn't sound quite the same, but now it sounds like it may be. There is
much hope and time for decisions! The meds will help, the diet change will
Hello. First I would like to begin by thanking everyone who replied to my

Portosystemic Shunt. This answers a lot of questions about her urinary tract

> berner that has gone thru this please let me know.
Dear Stephanie,
I am so sorry. I am going through the same thing with
my almost 2 year old male that I rescued 6 months ago.

Hi Thia,
I don't have experience with what you're going through, but one way of
approaching decisions like this is to consider what benefit will be gained by
doing a proceedure that carries risk. I ask my vet if and how *knowing* will

My 6 year old male began having seizures a week ago. We have determined there is a
tumor in the lung. The second oncologist we consulted with strongly suggests we have
an MRI and not assume that there is a "matching" tumor in the brain. My concern is
that the vet who was taking c
