[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It's possible, your dog simply has epilepsy and you don't need to do any expensive scans. My dog has seizures and has always had them since he was a puppy. He is on a medication now pill twice a day, and since then he has stopped having all seizures. I did not do any expensive brain, scans, or anything. The most expensive thing I did was a bunch of bloodwork to make sure that all his panels show that he's healthy. He's healthy, he just gets seizures. No biggie. [/quote]

+1 I just want to say how sorry I am you're dealing with this, OP.

The scans are to tell you if it's a brain tumor. So you have to ask yourself what you would do if it is a brain tumor. If the answer is that you would do palliative care but not operate, then you don't need the scans. If you would operate, then it's a good idea to - as PP suggested - reach out to your local shelters and rescues to see if they have funds to help owned pets get treatment. The whole point of those funds is to help in situations like yours - and to make sure pets aren't given up to shelters or euthanized early due to not being able to afford medical treatment.

There's an org called Live Like Roo that will also help with cancer treatment.

Talk to your vet about going on the seizure meds. The best case scenario is that they do the trick - and your dog has many happy, healthy years with you. Those aren't too expensive, either.

Sending lots of good thoughts to you and your dog.[/quote]

^ This is how it was for us when our dog got seizures. But I am not a vet so if the vet on this thread wants to correct me on anything, or add info, I would welcome that.[/quote]
