Flamin'Nora! 50 Posted June 5, 2010 Report Share Posted June 5, 2010 there is medication they can have for fits depending on the severity but the dog will probably be on them for the rest of its life Quote Link to post Share on other sites
higgins 75 Posted June 5, 2010 Report Share Posted June 5, 2010 Here's a quick link for you,mentions a few possible causes fits in dogs, Higgins Quote Link to post Share on other sites
samboy 317 Posted June 5, 2010 Report Share Posted June 5, 2010 My Presa started having fits, it was pityful to watch. So i had him put down. Very upsetting but i think it was for the best. He had nearly 7 good years and i was not prepared to watch him suffer.My Lakey had what looked like a fit last week so i will keep my eye on him, if he gets worse he will be be put down too. I love my dogs as much as the next man but i will not let them suffer. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
