hi, on the subject of epilepsy, i know of two dogs in uk, one a labrador the other a collie, both started taking fits at about 14mths of age, the vets treated the dogs for epilepsy, the owners of the labrador got second oppinion from another vet, there dog was not epileptic but suffered from
HYPOGLYCEMIA where the sugar level in blood gets low, this can cause the dog to go into a fit & to have seizures, so it may be worth having second oppinion on the dogs, there is usful web site you my like to read & find out more on this www.vetinfo.com/dhypogly.html best regards paul winder
