Most of my Seizure Detection dogs I never really paid tons of money for. Mine were always rescues of some sort. My Sister-In-Law had two Chiuauas and Peaches sensed my first one. Coco learned from her. When Peaches went to live somewhere else he took over. He nearly broke down the bathroom door with his head because I started having one in the shower. He was an unusual dog to begin with though. He was a strange mutt, technically he was a Chia Pitbull mix. Chiauaua size, Pitbull skeleton and muscle structure.

I had the Depth Electrode Test done in Boston Massachusetts, that test provided evidence seizures were coming from both sides of my brain as well. I was told after that test was over no other kind of surgery is possible, not yet. Do You been told about or asked about the Vagus Nerve Stimulator?. It is something other people myself included use to help them? Good Luck in the Future!
