sleepless nights
constantly watching

three days and nights of seizures
worry about further brain damage
difficulty in finding day-care
muscle spasms
sprained leg muscles
difficulty walking
difficulty drinking
bumping into things following a fit
and on and on it goes . . . . .

OUR AIMS FOR THIS WEBSITE
We would like to provide help and support to families with epileptic dogs through a network of people in the similar situations.

We would like to make all this information available in one place to help others going through similar situations as ours.
