Hi, I have two doxies.  Glenda whom is red and 6 years old and JD my 12 year old black and tan.  JD has been fighting seizure's off and on the last 3 years and we are now at a point where he seems to have one every 2 weeks and it is of course killing me.  I am keeping a journal of events leading up to them and I am thinking it might be chemicals in the pool?  Or not?  He takes 1 and a half pheno pills a day and this worries me that he still has them and of course being alittle overweight and no spring chicken probably doesnt help.  I have been bracing myself for the possibility of losing him...he is a doll-he is my heart and we have been together for a long time and thru alot.  He was predominantly my late husbands dog which of course makes it all the harder. I have enjoyed reading others and their battles with seizures, thoughts, ideas and well wishes in the message board and helps to know JD and I are not alone with these problems,  Thanks.

Hello, welcome to Wiener Writings!  Very glad you found us.  I am Cheryl from Cinti, Ohio and am owned and loved by Zoe (4 1/2 yo smooth red) and her half brother Winston (3 yo smooth red) and an Australian Shepherd Mix named Sheba (7 yo).  I have not dealt with seizures with my babies but as  Kari mentioned, we do have some members who have been dealing with this issue.  I am so sorry to hear that JD is having problems.  I am sure too that you will receive some excellent input.  Would love to see pictures of Glenda and JD.  I look forward to talking to you.

Hi Jamie! I'm owned by Berman (4 years black & tan smooth) and Lucy (2 years red smooth).  We live in Broken Arrow, OK (a suburb of Tulsa).  My Berman recently started having seizures - 4 since December, but he hasn't had one in over 2 months or so.  It sounds like you're doing everything you can for your little guy.  There are a few others on the board who have furbabies w/ more frequent seizures.  You may want to check out the health concerns section.
