We are celebrating 8 weeks SEIZURE FREE today without any Medics! Yippee!!!
I want to share this with all of you, as it might help another Dog in some way.
Our Natural approach is working for Jasper. For all the new members a quick history. 
Our Australian Labradoodle at the age of 18 months suddenly started having seizures. Through Pedigree research we discovered Genetically inherited Epilepsy from his Grandfather. Jasper's Mom has no Epilepsy, but should have not been used for breeding due to the seizure history in this blood line. Well making money seems more important to some people. By february this year he was averaging one seizure in 3 weeks. At one stage he had two in only 5 days. All Grand Mals, but luckily no clusters. I then contacted Dr. Jean Dodds in desperation to get some advise, as we were trying to avoid Medication for as long as safely possible for Jasper. I had the full support of my Vet.
Per Jean Dodds advise we started 3 things in may: Epi-Still (a remedy based on Passionflower & Skullcap to calm the nervous system), Taurine and a homemade GRAIN FREE Diet.
From then on his seizure breaks increased from 3 weeks to 6 to 7 and today we passed 8 weeks and still going seizure free. I cannot pinpoint, which of the 3 is helping him or if it is the combination of all 3 together? But IT IS WORKING! They few seizures he has had since may have been shorter, milder and faster in recovery time.
I so hope those monsters will stop all together, but for now we are happy where we are.

I'm so glad Jasper is doing well with this approach! I hope he continues to be seizure-free.
Hang in there Kirsy! I'm so glad you've found something that works for Jasper! Odie is going to the vet tomorrow for a check up. Perhaps some new insights there!
Great to hear from you! Hope everything is good with Odie tomorrow. Keep me posted please. Is he still on NO Medics yet? How far apart are his seizure breaks now?
Cheers. Kirsy & Jasp
