> Does or has anyone had experience with their pets and seizures?

Actually, yes, two of mine have had them.. One was a cocker spaniel, the other
was a black lab purebred (pricilla's sister).

The cocker spaniel wouldn't reconize anyone in the family, would freak out at
everything around him, and attack anyone or anything that tried to get close..
The Vet said he must have suffered from a 'touch of disentery', very common in
those puppy mills where this boy was from most likely  (he was "marked down"
at the pet store on the mall :()...  Some days he was just perfect haha.. He
lived about 10 years, on Dilantin for the petite mal seizures.  It was like he
was in a strange trance, certain colors set him off big time (who would have
thought THAT would matter).

The other pet this happened to, but a little different in nature of the
attacks was Pricilla's sister, Midnight.  She would be sitting or sleeping on
the bed or the couch and just fall off it, and seizures would follow that
involved jumpy legs, more physical than the cocker spaniel above, in other
words.

She also was on dilantin for a while.. but she's the one who was so overly
nervous... she escaped the fenced in yard and was hit by a truck in
Louisville.. poor baby.

Take care,
Janis
