The purpose of Epil-K9 to is to discuss canine epilepsy and seizures. List members are encouraged to ask questions and/or give information on these disorders according to their experiences. However, suggestions and advice found here are not to be misconstrued as an alternative to personal, professional veterinary care. This forum has been designed to provide a warm, welcoming environment to anyone with a seizuring dog or is interested in this health problem. It is also designed to educate and inform us, so we may better deal with seizures in our animals. Therefore, we strive for a friendly atmosphere of mutual cooperation and understanding. We are a large and very active list, with members from over 20 countries. In addition EPIL-K9, is very fortunate to have veterinarians, including leading veterinary specialists in canine epilepsy on the list sharing their knowledge with us. We hope that you will find the information contained in these pages helpful and informative.

This site is dedicated to the memory of "Emma" who disappeared from her yard with the gate closed on the evening of March 20th 2007 never to be seen again. She was almost 14. For many years she was known throughout the world as the "Face of Canine Epilepsy" Even though she is now part of the universe, her light still shines into the dark corners of Canine Epilepsy. Dearest Emma you will never be forgotten. you will live on through this site forever.

The Neurology Dept of the Vet School at North Carolina State University has set up a Memorial fund for Emma called "Emma's Memorial Fund" The fund will be used to help the neurology and genetics dept with small projects or pieces of equipment.
