Some dogs will gain better control than others. I didn't give up on my spotted friend because I always had hope that he could get better. I still have that hope. While this is not considered good seizure control by most standards, it seems to be the best my dog can muster three years after the onset of this horrible affliction. His quality of life between seizures is excellent and he enjoys life to the fullest every day.
Some days are just better than others.
Living with epilepsy is emotionally, financially, and physically draining. Constant tests for drug serum levels, liver and thyroid function, medications, etc. are very costly. I love my dog and will do all I can to keep him happy and give him the quality of life that he deserves. We will keep fighting this battle and hope he can have a long and healthy life. Epilepsy is an ever-growing problem in all dogs, purebred as well as mixed breeds.
