It must have been very distressing for both of you. Can your dog anticipate a seizure ? 🙂xB

Hi Guyb,

Oh my, what a cute dawgie ! : ) My dog used to stay with me when I went through a phase of motor fits ( during suspected brain infection ) a few years ago. Dogs can be amazingly in tune with illnesses and my one remaining girl has adapted to my disabilities beautifully ( suspected MS at this point ). She comes back regularly to check on me when out walking and watches me down flights of steps, waits patiently behind me at home, walking at my speed and allowing me room to veer off course and 'reminds' me if I forget to fill her water, give a treat etc : ) I hope you are feeling better after your long ordeal ( I'll bet you are tired ).
