Boxer having seizures.

Questions about seizures and MRI.

Hello, My question is VERY similar to the question below you just answered:
Species: Dog
Breed: Pekingese - BooBoo
Age: 11-15 years


Everything that pet owner stated has occurred with our female boxer. She will turn 9 years old in July and we have had her since the day after we were married. She and Gunny (another boxer) are our babies...

Anyway, my concern is she has had 3 seizures within a 26 hour period (over this past weekend). We took her to the emergency room and they gave her a shot of that medicine you stated and on Monday we took her to out vet, which immediately placed her on two doses of seizure medicine a day. Well, she was fine all day Monday, and pretty much all day today (Tuesday), until I saw her shaking again about 5:30PM. So I ran over to her and sat with her for next 1/2 hour to help her with the seizure. Her next medication was not due for another hour, and I could not get in the house without her. Every time I would stop talking to her and petting her, she would slowly then violently shake, but I feel I got her out of the seizure by being there (I don't know). Anyway, I was able to get her up and walking, and gave her medicine, but she kept slipping to those trembles for the next 1/2 hour, until she passed out.

I don't want her to suffer, and the closest Vet doctor that has a MRI machine is about an hour away. I don't think she can make it for 2 weeks until her next Vet appointment. I feel if she has another seizure that would be 4 within a 2-3 day period. Our vet said they have to wait 2 weeks to see how that medicine is affecting her blood stream, and said to possibly expect another seizure. Well, we can't handle this.

Do you recommend getting an MRI now or waiting 2 weeks for the Vet appointment, which then he will have to make a MRI appointment, which could be another 2 weeks or so. Unless this medication stops the seizures, I don't want her to have another one. What is your suggestion?
