And there's our baby, Dempsey-doodle. He had what we thought might be a seizure (mild) about a month after we moved into the house and last week, he had a frightening episode on the side of the road during a walk. He went down; eyes glazed, limbs tensed and he peed on himself. Absolutely horrible. Much worse than the first time! This time it was very apparent these episodes were in fact, seizures. Fortunately, Mike was with us on this walk so I was able to take Ali home while Mike stayed with him until he recovered and they wobbled home. Dempsey has been officially diagnosed epileptic and is now on medication. We have a wonderful English speaking vet office in our little town. Finding a vet I like is not an easy task because it's never just about the vet. It's also about the staff, the knowledge, their compassion, and their procedures. In Abilene, I went through four vets before I found Key City. Love Dr. Matthews! (Yep, that's a proud plug) I am relieved to find this great vet. We both are. Bonus? I walked there the other day.
Both of these situations have been huge, ongoing stressors lately. I think we have Dempsey under control...Black Magic? Are you next? Sure would be nice to get you legal ...

Seizures are so scary! Glad you got everything worked out for Dempsey.
