Lee, I assume that in the blood tests they checked her thyroid, if not they should. Also, if she at any time she had canine influenza it can cause a brain abscess and seizures. We rescued a bitch a few years ago that was pronounced "healthy" by the vet at the Riverside County Animal Shelter that had canine influenza. Even though she was sick, they spade her and sent her off with us. Many of our dogs got influenza. One of them, "Hef", got it bad and developed a brain abcess and seizures. We eventually lost him.
