Maybe you guys can help. My veterinary has done everything she could possibly think of to help my puppy but it is still having the occasional seizure. We have changed its diet, given it all the medicines we were supposed to and after every meal we give him lactulose. I will be going to veterinary school starting this fall but I feel so helpless. My veterinarian is ( I hate to say it) but kind of old and I was hoping some new research has gone on about liver shunts. He is a small breed dog ( toy poodle and pom) about 8 months old and surgery is not an option because we live in Hawaii and no vet here will do it. Any suggestions are greatly appreciated.
