My 12.5-year-old 4 lb poodle has had two seizures within 24-36 hours, with the second one causing her to turn in circles for about 15 minutes afterward. The vet suspects a brain tumor due to normal blood work results and has started her on phenobarbital. Are we just delaying the inevitable, and what should we consider given her recent health issues, including periodontal disease and a cough?

I have an 11-year-old black lab with recurring issues including eye discharge, fever, weakness, abdominal swelling, and loss of appetite. She has an elevated neutrophil count but normal other blood values. The liver on an x-ray appears misshapen. She is currently on prednisone and a penicillin antibiotic, but her condition relapses when the steroid is weaned.
