I have rubbed a few drops of Rescue Remedy on the ear leather while they were having seizures and that seemed to help bring them out of it faster. Two of my boys had them often enough that they needed medication. We opted for the potassium bromide compounded in an oral liquid. They did well on that. They started on the potassium bromide at about 2-3 years of age - one lived to 14, and the other made 16 yr and 7 months. So they had good long life spans on the potassium bromide.
Regarding feeding people food to old dogs -- it reaches a point where every day is a gift, and you give them whatever they will eat. And what they eat now, they may turn their nose up at by dinner time. In old age, they start wasting away - it's hard watching the decline.
My philosophy is that as long as they are happy and eating we're good. When a cocker spaniel quits eating, you know you are in big trouble.
