We had a Silky Terrier that started having seizures at about twelve. They gradually got worse until she had a very bad one at sixteen and we had to put her down. That was one of the worst days of my life.
On another note I had a GSD and he had a seizure at six years old and never had another. You are sure right about getting scared to death. It was bad with the little dog but the big guy it was something very different.
I too would say rely on your vet but remember you have Penn State Vet School to fall back on. In New York we all contact Cornell and they are wonderful sharing information with vets and owners. These dogs are a big part of our lives and we have them for such a short time as it is.
