Question
My 12year old mini Dachshund bitch diagnosed with tumour last week - 3weeks before she took her first seizure - then took one 10days ago and another today - is on Prednisolone & Frusemide tablets - I know she proberbly has a mass in her brain - but her last fit seemed to come from her stressing with heat - she really does not like to get warm, how may i help her to be happy & comfortable I understand the outcome!!!

You should consult your vet about making your pup comfortable. Your vet is familiar with her condition and her symptoms and can better recommend medicine to help make her last days more comfortable.
