> >I have a mother (6 years)and daughter(4yrs) Pek that have seizures. They got so bad they were having them about 1 a week. The vet put them on phenobarbital and they also became very inactive. I took them off the phenobarbital and changed their food. I had been giving them Science Diet Regular food and changed them to the Lamb and Rice formula. Their seizures have gone from 1 a week to 1 every 5 or 6 months. I can't claim this was what resolved their problems as I was working when they were having their seizures so often and have quit work and am at home full time now. However, I have heard that the High Protein is what causes the seizures.
