Dr. McCallum just called me and Toda's liver bile test was normal 
The next step is a $1500 trip to neurologist for an M.R.I. to rule out a brain tumor. I'd have believed it was a liver shunt before I'd believe it's a brain tumor. I still doubt it is. The only problem is, epilepsy can only be diagnosed through exclusion. If he's negative for the brain tumor, I have an epileptic puppy and I can live with that. Very happily
Can't get too ahead of myself, though, a tumor still is a possibility. I'll let you know when the process gets further along. I don't have $1500 today. Mortgage is due on the 1st for $1400. I had been out of work for a sprained shoulder and only went back to work Wednesday.
I think it can wait a little bit, anyway, because as long as Toda doesn't get hyped up, he doesn't have any seizures. It is seriously cutting into our play time, though
Thanks for everyone's concerns, we'll keep you up to date!

Toda has not had a fit for a few days. Then again we aren't playing or anything He has to go in the bedroom with the door shut on the left and the two pocket-doors closed on the right when company comes. There is a "circle" through my house. Walk in the bedroom from the living room, curve left through the "nursery/office" through a pocket door past 2 bedrooms and there is another pocket door before you get back into the living room.
It's driving both of the dogs crazy not to see eachother. They can't play, we can't play. But until I know what's wrong with him, it has to be this way.

What about a vet school? Cornell is not far from me, and if it is a case of something relatively rare or 'weird' they will look at animals for reduced costs or free.
You can also have your animal looked at by a student as a teaching case depending on the ailement.
Your vet would have to be on board with this idea, as most schools won't speak to owners, just vets.
Just another thought.
Have you had a chance to look into CareCredit?
