EPM2b Gene

Dogs and seizures…

My Aussie, Iz, and her sister, Zader Mae, suffer from seizures.  A most disheartening affliction to observe.  Iz suffered from half-a-dozen of the seizures in 2004, and she started 2005 off with a bang, suffering two seizures in about 10 hours time, one at around 9 P.M. New Year’s Day, followed by a second seizure at around 3:35 A.M. on the 2nd.  Dang it!  In an unusual coincidence, Zady also suffered two seizures in about a ten hour timeframe, also on New Year’s Day and early in the A.M. on the 2nd.

Thus it was with interest I read this BBC News article titled “Epilepsy gene identified in dogs.”  Though the information presented in the article is of little value to the Iz, it’s interesting to note none-the-less.
