My last Airedale (see above)had massive epilepsy attacks that killed him, it was tough. I love the breed but downsized with the Irish. The Irish is a much tougher dog to own, smarter, but they have a temper towards other dogs, I have been doing lots of training to mellow him out. But once a terrier owner, always a terrier owner!

Our Shepherd just had 7 attacks on New Years Day. They were all under a minute or so. She's had a couple in the past year, but I tell you, we were really scared. At that time the vet told us to monitor her and let him know if the condition worsened. It sure did. Got her on phenobarbital now, and that seems to help. Her muscles are still sore, poor thing. Can you give any advice?
