Re: epelepsy in huskies?
sepp...@juno.com
I've seen several Seppalas have seizures. Mostly genetic predisposed. And unfortunately the onset is at 4-6 years old, after most of them have been bred already, passing it on to next generation. Other causes can be underlying diseases, even (really) bad allergies can cause it, sometimes other brain disorders are the underlying cause.
Tests are needed, yes, but if she feels she's getting "used", call around for other vets and get a second opinion- but get the dog's medical records first. Sometimes meds can regulate the severity and amount of seizures, but it can be trail-and-error before that state is reached.
Google for some more info and vet specialists. Sometimes it's better and in the long run less expensive to see a veterinary specialist, than have your regular vet keep fishhing around for what-ifs.

A friend of mine, a Husky owner, has been spend beaucoup Bucks at the Vet and all he does is recommend more expensive TESTS. He is using my friend as a "CashCow", milking her try.
Please be so kind and share your Knowledge with us.
Note: Keep a close eye on your dogs. It seems that the Humain Society is
running short on funds every where and they constantly raid " Breeders/
small Kennels with 6-7 dogs and take all animals! Reaons: 1 doo-doo in one kennel, dog was barking at dog in next kennel etc.!They like to raid when dog owner just left for a minute!!!
So far I had no visits --- but I personally know of others!
