@gigi85 Actually my Guy only averaged 2 seizures every 3 months or so.. so my Vet had me monitor him and keep a record of the dates the seizures were, had bad they were etc.. he said that at 1 or 2 seizures every 3 months sometimes it was 4 months, that unless the seizures occurred more frequently or they became worse he wouldn't put him on meds.
So he went on till he was about 12 years old before meds were needed. The last 4 days of his life they became very frequent like every other day... then the last day his seizures were happening off and on all day, by that night they were so, so severe and extremely painful for him for the first time of his life, something I swore I would never do, I did... I put him to sleep as he was suffering so much and I could see these seizures were very very different.. they were horrible. I couldn't see him go through another one.. so with meds... your brothers pup can still have a long full life. Don't let him stop the meds again. Take pup to Vet and tell him your concerns. Wishing you the best

I also wanted to add, watch the pup and you can learn to tell when a seizure is going to happen a few mins before... my dog, licked the air... over and over couldn't settle.., would stare off in a corner or in space... I would hold and comfort him and talk and sing to him through all of them. It takes them a few mins to recover after.. I also read .. not sure if it's true... that dogs can't see well or at all during seizures.. my dog couldn't see to. That's why I talked and sang to him as it was comforting to him. With a bigger dog you might wanna be careful, they could snap or bite if they are scared, my dog didn't but always be prepared and comfort them IF it's safe for you.

, my dogs seizures always , always came in 3s.. if he had 1 in the morning, he always had 2 more for a total of 3 before the next morning... it was so odd.
