Charlie and Seizures

The big boy is still having seizures. 
They seem to be happening every two weeks, to date. 
Again it always happens first thing in the morning 
after he has made his running, barking lap around the yard.
First we thought he had low blood sugar, 
so he got a treat 20 minutes before we let him outside.
This worked for two weeks and then BAM it happened again.
Then we decided to keep with the treat, but put him on leash and go out a different door.
We thought we had finally figured it out.
It seemed to be working.
This morning around 4:30 a.m. he had another one in our bed. 
Poor Brian had to get a disoriented Charlie off  the bed once he came out of his seizure. 
We have a vet appointment on Sunday. We will talk with the Doc. and see if we should start
his seizure medicine. I was hoping to avoid putting him on medication, but it looks like we may have to.
Will keep you posted.
