  I am sorry you and your baby are going through this.  I don't know enough about neos to say if it is common, but I do know it is seriously considered by most to be hereditary.  Did you get your baby from a breeder?  If so, you should contact them and tell them what is happening, not only to find out if they have any knowledge of others in your guy's pedigree having had seizures, but to let him/her know that other dogs in your pup's litter and siblings from other litters are at risk.   The next thing you need to do is start taking notes... write down when the seizures occur, how long they last, and what activity you observe during each specific seizure.  From there, a vet appointment for bloodwork to rule out typical causes of seizures, and your vet will probably want to work with you on ruling out environmental causes as well.  Usually, when you go to the vet for the first appointment, they will ask you to start keeping a record, with all the factors I mentioned previously, and the two of you will follow up from there.  If you go to the first appointment already armed with a record in detail, it will speed up the process by several weeks/months, and get your baby on some meds that will help keep him seizure free hopefully for a long time.  Good luck!

Don't wait- he needs to go NOW.  This is way too serious to be teething, and way too serious to let it continue for even another 24 hours.  Poor guy!

What an handsome little man he is!  I bet you have your hands full, but at the same time, your heart swells with pride every time he looks at you with those adoring puppy eyes.

Not that I feel I should have to defend myself on this issue- my point is this... I am near enough to him where I could drive over and pick her up, BUT... I am not *qualified*, as I already have two females purchased from a breeder, one rescue boy, and my foster girl just left for her forever home two weekends ago.  I also have four cats, and chinchillas, which, by his own words, makes me a collector.  What right does HE have to accuse me of that???  How many of you guys here would tell me I would not give this girl the best home she could ever have for the rest of her life???

And she isn't even spayed- what responsibility to her has HE ever followed through on?

Sweet girl, but apparently *I* fit the owner's definition of a collector. HA!

Sorry- OT a bit, but what is MSM?  I have all my guys on glucosamine/chondroitin, and I keep seeing references to MSM but have not found anything telling what it is.  Thanks!
