Epilepsy
When a human has epilepsy,
whether from birth or aquired, everything possible is done to arrest, compensate
for and alleviate the symptoms. What about pets? If they are or become
afflicted with this condition should they be discarded or destroyed? The
answer is a definate NO!! As long as your companion can be treated, understood
and taken care of there is no reason to be rid of them. The only time anyone
should put an animal down is when their quality of life can no longer be
maintained.... that is to say, when they are no longer able to function
with relative normalcy and are truely suffering. There are drugs available
(similar to those for humans) that can help (along with a little understanding)
your friend lead a healthy and happy life.
