My beautiful 2 yr old little lady penny has just been diagnosed with epilepsy. I am totally gutted, I am at my wits end because she is not the same dog. She's constantly licking but frantically and scratching at things. Can any one help!!

I don't have much to offer, but it may help others if you give more detail. Can you describe her seizures, when they happened, how long they lasted, what medication she is on, when she started it?

Other than that, I wish you luck in getting it controlled.

I didn’t even know epilepsy in dogs was a thing. Good luck in your search!

It is, and some breeds are more prone than others. A couple of years ago, a collie person told me there wasn't a single breeding line in the UK without epilepsy somewhere in it (she has competed in agility and obedience at Crufts, so not just an average pet owner - she knows the breed well).
