Has anyone had any experience with small dogs and seizures? Or even better, with pekes in particular? Thanks in advance for anyone's help!

Our first Springer started having seizures the last year and a half of her life. It might seem odd, but about the only time she would seizure is if there was a full moon.
Our vet put her on phenobarbital. I just stuffed the pill in a bit of cheese or piece of sandwich meat...no trouble getting her to take the pills. Prior to being put on phenobarbital, the vet had me give her valium to stop the seizures.
Her bloodwork had to be checked every 3 months. I am not sure what they were checking in the blood, but it had to be within a certain range. it got out of that range, her medication had to be increased. She lived to be 13 years old.
