Max and Captain have both had seizures. Not anymore. The good old country vet (Dr. Kainer) was good enough to let me know that even though you worm regular sometimes you can still get a worm infestation.

He said Whip worms can cause seizures, we wormed with Panacure for the 3-4 days in a row as he reccomended and have not ever had another seizure since. This was the cheapest route to try and the easiest on the dog, and it worked.

I am sure some vets can mis-diagnose things, at times but I am positive alot of vets want to sell you the most expensive "Cure" they can, usually doing all kinds of blood work-ups and other tests to determine cause, I can't say your dog does not have neuro logical problems, but I have a hard time trusting a vet that wants to put a dog on a lifelong daily medcation with barbitutes or anything that will be hard on a dogs system

You are exactly right uglydog. Every time I have seen this happen it was whip worms except one and that dog had heart worms. 
I share the same opinion as you do about most vets! So dont get me started on them! lol Evil
