I'm so sorry to hear this. Watching your pup go through that has to be one of the worst things ever. It's not like watching them cut their leg on a branch and you know the root cause and what actions to take next. You are so afraid and out of control with their seizures. My weimaraner had her first grand mal seizure at 5 months old. Unfortunately, at that time I had two vets recommend putting her to sleep because the seizures will progress and at some point she will go in to the seizure and not come out of it. Well, my lil Miss Gracen Roo and her mommy were fighters. After 2 years, we were finally able to control her idiopathic (no known cause) seizures with phenobarbitol, potassium bromide and valium. Unfortunately, those two years were brutal. She would seize atleast once a week and on that day she would have 1-5 seizures lasting 30-60 seconds. She would collapse to the ground, salivate profusely, extend her legs and paddle them while her head would continuously hit the ground. It was devastating. Luckily my mom was able to watch her while I was at work, so she always had someone able to watch her 24/7. We would hold her head to avoid injury and cracked or broken teeth (overtime she had several) and gently stroke her head and body while talking calmly to her. Once she came out of the seizure, she was disoriented for 30-60 mins. I would give her vanilla ice cream to cool her down and watch her like a hawk. So many people questioned why I wouldn't get rid of her and the only thing I could think of, was would any other person take care of her the way I did or would they kick her to the curb or even hurt her if she ever ruined a rug or bedspread while seizing. Once her blood levels were maintained she would only seize once every 2-3 weeks instead of weekly. Unfortunately, her time came shortly after she turned 5 years old. I spent over $20k on her medical bills, monthly bloodwork and treatment and I would spend another $100k if I had her with me for another 5 years.
My long story is not to scare you, but more of what my experience was like. I hope they can find the cause of the seizures so you can provide her the love and care she deserves and she can give it in return. There are plenty of pups that live long lives while medicated and they are happy as can be and no suffering. Unfortunately, watching your precious baby go through something like this is tramatic for you and your family as well as waiting to find the root problem or how to hopefully reduce it.
You, your family and your fur baby and in my thoughts and prayers.
