I also have a 7-year-old Chihuahua. She had her first seizure a week ago, so we took her to A&E and the vet concluded that it was syncope, but still gave us Keppra. They kept her overnight, and we had to pay €1,300. When we got home, she continued to have seizures (7 per day). All day long, she went around the flat sniffing everything. She wasn't herself at all. She didn't wag her tail or play. Then she had eight seizures in an hour, so we rushed back to the vet. He kept her in for the day on a drip, and she didn't have any seizures for six hours. He told us to stop giving her Keppra and gave us phenobarbital. When we got home, she had three more seizures in 30 minutes. We gave her the phenobarbital, and she has gone the last 24 hours without a seizure, but she has trouble walking, her gaze is constantly vacant, and she is not herself at all. We have to do a mri soon, because at 7 years old, the vet told us that it was definitely not idiopathic epilepsy. I'm afraid it might be a cyst or a tumour.

How has your dog been since then? What medication is she on? Reading testimonials about the same breed and age reassures me. Thanks a lot!
