[quote=Anonymous]Our older dog is eleven and has pretty bad arthritis (takes Tramadol) but gets around fine.  The dogs were cooped up yesterday because of the rain and only made little jaunts into the back yard.  Around 7 I found him in the yard and was afraid he had fallen down a few steps we have so I carried him inside to take a good look at him.  When I brought him in the kitchen and started toweling him off he went into a full blown grand mal seizure -- there was no mistaking it.

Talked to the vet on the phone last night.  He thinks the most likely reason is probably a slow growing benign brain tumor.  Has anyone been through this?

Wants to wait to put him on seizure meds to see how often the seizures are -- if he doesn't have another one for months, then we can wait.

Maybe other vets can weigh in if they read.

I just don't want him to suffer.  After the seizure he wandered around the house pacing restlessly for several hours.  He seemed confused and scared.  Finally he calmed down.[/quote]
