Re: [PyrNet-L] Health: Care: Epilepsy

Dan,
I hope that your Vet will find the answer to Cody's seizures.  There is
epilepsy in the breed, but I understand seizures can also caused by
other things.  We once had a puppy that went into seizures after being
dipped for fleas.  Unfortunately, the puppy died.  We later found out
that the family used many types of flea medications, foggers and sprays.
It was determined that the combination of all these things caused the
seizures.

I seem to remember that a study at a Texas Vet School had come up with
some new and very effective treatment for epilepsy.
