Generally dogs that have seizures more frequently than once monthly I recommend giving anti seizure medication to prevent the seizures. If they didn't find a specific reason for the seizures they may be due to epilepsy. I would get a video of one of the seizures and keep a calendar of the frequency to share with your veterinarian. You can discuss starting medication with your veterinarian now regardless of the frequency or feel free to ask for a referral to a veterinary neurologist. The specialist can do advanced testing to see if they can find the cause of the seizures and get Mika on medication if they feel it is needed. You are correct to be concerned so keep tract of them and discuss your concerns with your veterinarian. Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach to help you care for Mika.
