Callie iirc the reasons they don't think its epilepsy are:
not common in boxers
type of seizures and how they have changed
no other neurological symptoms
There were a variety of potential causes - one of which was the flying leap he took off the elevated deck that landed him in IC for 3 nights - I think that was 4 months prior to the onset of seizures, they thought that was too large a gap but potentially could be the cause.
I think the owners are hoping that this med controls the seizures and reduces them in number - he goes back to the cardiologist in December. I have a feeling that if his heart test is good (for him) they might consider further testing for a cause - but unlikely if he settles down on the meds.
Honestly they are just heartbroken about all his issues and work hard to give him a great life
