Having a dog with epilepsy is utterly heartbreaking

I don't really know the point of this post other than I just feel so sad that our dog has epilepsy. It's such a horrible illness to have and feel for every single person going through this with their dog.

I know that we are never guaranteed healthy pups but this took me by suprise and watching a dog have a seizure has to be one of the worst things I've ever witnessed.

Hes a 1 year old golden retiriever and has recently been diagnosed with ideopathic epilepsy. He's on pheno but had his first cluster of 3 yesterday and it makes me want to cry every time I think about it happening. I feel absolutely heartbroken for him that he has to go through this. They just don't deserve it!

It's hard not to think about his future and whether or not the seizures will get worse so I just feel like I want to cry all the time. Does anyone have any advice, like does it get easier? Or are there things you do to help you get through it?

Thanks!
