We had an Epi dog. He started seizing around 4 years. 3-4 times per week. Our vet wanted to put him on Phenobarb.
I searched the web and the Epi dog forums said to change foods.
We switched from Science Diet to California Natural and he went from 3-4 a week to 3-4 a month to 3-4 per year.
We switched his 6-7 year old healthy mom at the same time for convenience sake and her eyes cleared up, ears were healthier, her coat got nicer and her energy level went through the roof.
Since your dog sounds older, it may indeed be a tumor or something else but it cant hurt to try a food change. BTW, they loved the better food.
We have since switched to Fromms. Family owned, never had a recall ever.
