Any help advise greatly appriciated.
My dog has had 3 seizures in the past 9 months, each lasting about 5 mins (I think it felt like an eternity), he thrashes about, has alot of spit comming out of his mouth and then when the seizure is over he sleeps rock solid for roughly 9-10 hrs, I physically have to shake him to wake him up. I have taken him to my vet and he has run liver function tests and done a full physical on him, the tests come back all clear and he is in perfect health. The vet has told me there is no test that can test for epilepsy and the vet has advised me to get a cat scan on his head to rule out a brain tumour as well.
What I would like to know is does a dogs personality change with epilepsy as my boy has changed dramatically, he is now very anxious and has developed a very nasty streak, I know he doesn't mean to do the things he does its as if he cant help himself, he will scratch my face when I am holding him and bite my other dogs for no reason.
Also the cat scan is going to be inexcess of $2000.00 and I wont be able to come up with the money for a little bit, is there another way to find out if it is a tumor or epilepsy.
Cheers in advance.
