I’m so so sorry. I managed my pup’s epilepsy for almost 9 years. Everything below is shared with the best intentions, and is based on my experiences only - I’m not a vet or anything.

I did CBD for the first several years after my pup’s initial seizures without conventional meds - but I did a massive dose each day (probably the recommended dose for your pup, and my guy was 13 lbs). Maybe try it again?

I also did during-seizure Valium rectally. It didn’t stop the current seizure, but it safeguarded against cluster seizures. Don’t let them compound it into plastic - it will degrade the Valium almost immediately. I got a glass vial and drew up a syringe, took off the needle, and put it in him via needle-less syringe. It’s not as hard as it may sound.

The other thing that made things slightly easier was jumbo quilted made-for-human pee pads. Not doggie ones. Doggie ones actually have attractant to encourage peeing on them. I spread the pee pads on the floor of my master bathroom. When pup had a seizure, I’d get him in the bathroom, basically carrying him with a blanket, and the pads helped ease cleanup (even a little helps). I just laid the blanket on the pee pads. For the last 2 years there were pads under blankets on my bed, on his bed, in his crate, and during seizures in the bathroom.

Please don’t feel bad about crating him after the seizure. The post ictal period can be an hour or so, and they are super disoriented. Crating would keep him safe and secure.

I’m thinking of you, and sending you a virtual hug.

It looks like part terrier to me, but I am no dog expert. I would look at his behavior. Terriers were bred for very different traits than other classes of dogs.


"All kinds of dogs have a number of hard-wired traits bred into them. Hounds love to follow their noses, Retrievers love to fetch and Herding dogs love to herd. With few exceptions, these are pretty harmless activities and don’t stand in the way of training. Terriers, however, were bred to hunt and kill vermin independently, digging underground and barking excitedly, almost impervious to pain".

Does he know he's a star? Because he has that "I'm James Corden, and I'm almost pissed off" look. Or is he just hungry?

The best cat that was ever under my aegis was a brown/black striped tiger named "Meatloaf" from the ancient poster by Kliban where the cat looked like one of these, but was shaped more like this.

Excellent cat. He sang all the vowels while seated in the hall just outside the bedroom. He was the Johnny Mathis of cats, I tell you. The only animal to wake me with vocal noise, and not make me angry.

Jack Russel, maybe some lab mix. Does she have a double coat?

Here you go dear: http://www.amazon.com/BioPet-DNA-Breed-Identification-Kit/dp/B0015WNJ7I Send them a cheek swab and you'll know! I don't recommend trying to buy this in a pet specialty store like Petsmart, they will try to charge you 150.00 for this kit. This is the best price I've found!

I have the same one - It's an awesome pack and the leash is amazing.

So sweet! I wonder if he'd like the flavored bubbles lol

Hi! This was the response I gave to a previous question -

"Collar and black necktie came from Amazon. Unfortunately, the black tie blends in with his black fur so I wound up buying him 10 neckties for dogs with a big head and neck , cut the stitching for the black tie which left me only with the collar and BAM! Atlas doesn't have to go into meetings under dressed :) I had a hard time finding him a non-human necktie that fits since his neck is between 23-24 inches."

Hope it helps!

Have you tried a "Skinneez" dog toy? They don't have stuffing, and the squeekers are barely squeeky at all. My dog loves to carry these around. https://www.amazon.com/Ethical-Skinneeez-Beaver-14-Inch-Stuffingless/dp/B0024EFYJM/ref=pd_ys_sarp_mlt_2?_encoding=UTF8&pd_rd_i=B0024EFYJM&pd_rd_r=HK8FSHYEBGWJGM83VKDJ&pd_rd_w=tht28&pd_rd_wg=lPSt9&pf_rd_p=f8c5d484-3b5f-4c10-83fd-97484098763d&pf_rd_r=HK8FSHYEBGWJGM83VKDJ&psc=1&refRID=HK8FSHYEBGWJGM83VKDJ

From amazon! Sunny loves it, she can never get comfortable/stable during car rides but this gets the job done without me having to move her dog bed in and out of the car constantly.

real cute dog, though.

You should get a puppy playpen for times you can't watch him.
