<P><FONT SIZE=5 FACE="Poor Richard">I've got to chime in here ~ I have had 4 dogs total.. Only one wasn't a basset Hound, he was a chow and husky mix. ALL of my dogs have had seizure disorders, including the Chow. We did have Bailey, but only for 10 months before he developed cancer and went to the bridge ( he didn't have nay seizures while we had him). </FONT></P>
<P><FONT SIZE=5 FACE="Poor Richard">My husband and I are besides ourselves as to why this happens. Rocky just had a seizure last night and now, on occasion, so does Clyde. Clyde we have had with us as a rescue for 18 months or so. Both Rocky and Clyde are bassets.</FONT></P>
<P><FONT SIZE=5 FACE="Poor Richard">Treating Max ( our chow, and only dog at the time) with Phenobarbital proved pointless, he had them anyways and once you start that medication, you have to keep it up regardless. Max eventual succumbed to kidney failure, BUT he did live a very happy life until he was 13 years old. We have chosen not to medicate Rocky and Clyde, we know of too many dogs that have been put on medication and it has done absolutely no good.</FONT></P>
<P><FONT SIZE=5 FACE="Poor Richard">I hate seeing my babies have seizures. We can't find anything environmental, that would be causing them, though.</FONT>
