7 yr old lab having seizures
My fiance's dog Sam has seizures. It's really really sad! He's a fairly big yellow lab, he weighs about 60 pounds and is about 2 feet tall.. He has about 2-3 weekly. He has really really bad ears, and his family thinks it's because of his ears.. but I think differently! His ears are really swollen and he always rubs them and scratches them. Do you think his seizures are caused by his ears? When he has his seizures he gets really really tense and slobbers non-stop. He used to throw up, pee and poo while having them, but now he doesn't. He just slobbers. When he is having a seizure I think he can hear me when I talk to him. They usually last about 5 minutes. But his family is thinking about putting him asleep... I am FREAKING out! I think it's wrong if you can do something about it. Please let me know what you think. We took him to the vet and they said they have no idea what is wrong, but they didn't do any bloodwork. That doesn't make any sense. One of his parents had seizures too, so I'm thinking he is epileptic. But I don't know for sure! Any advice will help! Please give me your advice! Thanks!
