I was able to escape on Friday to do a little duck scouting. when I arrived I was not but 150 yards on my treck when my phone rang with my wife on the other end telling me that I "need to get home right now," and that Adie was having a seizure. So two hours back home went.  On Mondaythe vet said that most likely was epilepsy and sent use home with a bottle of pills, a stack of literature, and instructions to call them if there are any more seizures. 

Just intersted what others have experienced with this.

When I was younger I owned a black cocker spaniel, Waldo, that had epilepsy.  His were mostly stress induced. Whenever we were going anywhere if he saw the suitcase he would have a full on seizure within a few hours.  During his seizure he would get very rigid and I would make sure he was on the floor so he didn't fall and hurt himself.  His front legs would trash, his eyes would get glassy and he would salivate and his body would tremble. Immediately after he came out of his seizure I would take him outside because he would need to eliminate both his bladder and his bowels

We disovered the seizures when he was a young pup and the vet put him on phenobarbitol.  He was monitored on a regular basis and his medication would be adjusted dependent on how many seizures he was having and how long they were lasting.

We were able to manage it and he lived to be 14 years old. We also would try to minimize his stress by always packing when he was outside and putting the suitcase in the car so he didn't see it.

Thank you for everyone's insight.

My brother had a yellow lab who would have seizures. There wasn't a specific reason for the seizures and the vet determined that they weren't frequent enough, so he didn't describe meds.

 Yes,  Our black lab has had seizures since she was about 6 months old. They started with her just sort of trembling and staring for about 30 seconds and then increased to entire body stiffening with shaking, and incontenence, and they last about 5-10 minutes from start to finish.  The actual shaking only lasts about 2-3 minutes, the rest is the out of it post-ictal stage. There are no known triggers for her, and they just ocurr randomly about 3 or 4 times a year.  The vet chose not to medicate her because they are so infrequent.  She is almost 13 years old.  They are hard to watch. She knows when she is going to have them, and will come find us and lay down in front of us if we are close by. 

That's great to hear!
