I know she is your baby but if it is anything like the human form which it sounds like it is more fair to her to let her go then to keep her around because you want her. If they could put humans down when they suffer with vertigo as debitating as mine I would be the first to volunteer.
I have nothing but sympathy for you, trupeach1. I could see the terror in her eyes during our dog's initial seizure and can only imagine how you deal with life. (I do hope some doctor is able to recommed meds or some treatment to help you.) You don't have to worry, we want her to have a quality life and would not allow her to suffer. Our Vet (who also has Labs) had one of hers have three episodes of this and she survived to die at age 16 of a heart attack.

Thanks to everyone for their good wishes, they are much appreciated. The people on this board are not only a talented group of people but very compassionate as well.
