Billy is being treated by our veterinarian. He has had 4 episodes…3 of them a year apart and the last one ten days after the third one. We work closely with our vet. Our approach has been to observe. Now that he has had one ten days after the last, we have an appointment to discuss what we want to do next. CECS is not epilepsy. Just google CECS and perhaps take a look at this article:

There isn’t much that works to treat this disease/disorder. One thing that has worked for some is a hypoallergenic diet. And to be honest, depending on what our vet says, that’s the route I would want to go to next. Medications don’t usually work with this disorder and before going that route, I would rather try a hypoallergenic diet. Believe me though, we have always had a close, trusting relationship with our vet. I just want to come with options on hypoallergenic food choices when we see her next week. I hope that helps…thanks!
