Ask your vet for a referral to Neuro
You also can find Neuro near you and get into their ER, they will take in progressive seizures. You'll have to wait in line tho, be prepared.
Focal seizures are a strange looking - she was kind of loosing her balance all the time, without passing out or even noticing.
Don't multiply the entities, you do not know if it's age/gene related or a drug side effect. Focus on getting to neurologist.

@TessaForDemocracy
I also was super worried when I worked with our regular vet since they we a bit lost about her focal seizures. But one they got us to Neuro and I talked with the specialist - it all got really well over 20 min of our conversation. It cost us as a regular visit + meds. And she stopped seizuring on that day (before that she got to the point of focal seizures several times a day, grand mal once weekly. The progression was super fast)

@TessaForDemocracy
No, it's no longer the only one. We were given a choice of pheno and keppra. We chose the latter since it has less side effects and no need for constant blood checks.
They did not do any extra tests
Only blood work to make sure her hormones are at normal level and no other abnormalities. We talked a lot with Neuro. If you have videos or can make one - they will appreciate it.

@TessaForDemocracy
Anti epileptic drug(s)
I know how stressful it can be (been there with focal seizures). Hang in there! There are new and really good AEDs nowadays. So it's either related to hyperthyroidism or not, yet - treatable both ways.

@TessaForDemocracy
What's hyperT?
I have a dog with seizures. She used to have one grand mal a year and then started having them more often with extras (focal). That was our clue and we returned to the vet for AED prescription. She haven't had one for a year now. She also has hyperthyroidism. I'd recommend contacting your vet. They might refer you to the neuro

No. I'll check it out, thanks!

I can imagine. In this time of technology.
"You've got mail" is one of my favorite movies 😬

as someone who once was in charge of a biolab (a manager with the actual "owner" of the lab above me, with great delegation skills) - this article makes me happy.

how did I learn to cook? - it's a necessary skill, imo, so I learned that skill. one does not have to love certain activity to practice it. especially, when it's so fundamental.
so I usually cook something very simple and preferably healthy. cook big batches, freeze portions etc. or eat raw veg & fruits. when other people are involved, try to negotiate the part of work that is not cooking. something like that😀

once I get my right to vote, I'll be voting against any party/person supporting 'acab' statement.

@deadweirdo
generalizations like that discredit any constructive conversation.
neither of these articles states that all 660k police officers are "bastards".
and as a liberal, I am repulsed by 'acab'. degrading a group of people based on behavior of few instead of focusing on the actual problem(s) is neither smart, nor dignified.
btw, I grew up in an extremely criminal time and place. so I have some experience to compare to.

@singlemaltgirl
I can cook. I don't like doing it tho.

@purrrism
Yep. Want something to be part of your life - make it a habit.
