    If you click on the last icon with the arrow up icon, you can upload photos. They need to be in JPG format I think.

    I'll chime in on the full vet work up and the seizure diary too. Our first Basenji had seizures his entire life - his first was at 6 weeks old. He lived to be 16 years old and was never on medication for the seizures. In fact, our vet told us, "The meds are actually more for the owner than the dog. They don't truly 'stop' the seizures. But the owner feels better." And the side effects of most of the commonly prescribed anti seizure meds can be pretty bad, especially if the dog is on them for a long time. Terry

    Thanks again for all of your advice. It is nice to know that I am not the only one who is dealing with such a strong willed animal. He is currently laying on the floor chewing on a nylabone as is my golden "Levi". I can't say it often enough "I LOVE NYLABONES!" Well, now he is in my lap chewing his nylabone because Levi thinks that if Taz is chewing on it, it has to be better than the one he has. LOL

    One of my chow customers was named Tedioso Great. Teddy was an amazing dog. We called him a lab in a chow coat. Then a fellow groomer clipper burned his groin area. He never even flinchec, much less bit. They brought him into the office to show the burn (it was a fairly bad one) and Teddy jumped in my lap. LOL I think he thought I could save him. I adored that fuzzy lump. Others? Oh wow. Most of my stories about them involve stitches and plastic surgery. Not on me but on my fellow groomers. I charged a premium and made the owner stay with the dog.
