We actually discussed this article in my Samoyed Genetics group. They looked at the develoment of ketones (which is the basics fundamental way it is supposed to work with diabetics) In animal models, low-carbohydrate, high-protein diets do not produce ketosis or reduce glycemia but rather cause obesity. However, limiting both protein and carbohydrates as in a classic ketogenic diet remarkably reduces blood glucose in animal models of type 1 and type 2 diabetes and reverses diabetic nephropathy. << https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/23680948 There are a few Canine Epilepsy support group: https://www.facebook.com/annemorley.21/ http://www.canine-epilepsy.com/ Has a chat room This has been around since 1991: http://www.petsandanimals.co.uk/canine-epilepsy-support-group

Vet said that he might experience fainting spells. I'm assuming that if blood is unhealthy, it can't do its job properly. Things like carry oxygen, nutrients and toxins to the appropriate organs. I'm hoping the best case is he will go from unconsciouness to death. He got hit by a car about 10 years ago and got his pelvis screwed back together. Other than that he gets around fine. thanx
