Hi Suzanne,


Yes there are medications to treat your dog for seizures. I'd sure recommend you get your dog to your vet though. This is serious.

A veterinarian friend has done extensive research into epileptic seizures. His primary findings are from diet. I'd also suspect vaccines as contributing. You may want to read up on what this vet says on the diet. And read up on the adverse reactions to vaccines (see below). It is far better to get to the root cause and address that, rather than to merely address the symptoms with medication. The seizures are symptoms of a deeper root cause. 

Her vaccines are up to date and she is a holistic diet dog.  She goes in on Thurs. for her yearly vaccines, and I did mention all my cockers eat a better diet thatn I do. All holistic.
