I was wondering if anybody has a idea of anything else I can do for Bear beside putting him on Phenobarbital
I lost a dog to a seizure. He had one, it wasn't real bad, we took him to the vet. Nothing conclusive. The vet thought it could be idiopathic epilepsy but since they were mild he took a wait and see attitude. The next seizure was a big one and killed Patriot at age 6. So IMO, put him on the phenobarbital and then look for alternatives.

I'd go to the epilepsy list on yahoo for information.
