A friend of mine had a beautiful dog, a massive bull masstif. He was such a sweet dog, a teddy bear. He suffered from impromptu seisures and used to sort-of come and ask for help when they started.

The vet said these big dogs are prone to seisures. I no longer believe in these b/s explanations, especially having spent time working in Asia where dogs roam freely without an owner and don't have seisures (unless they have a brain injury or perhaps brain parasites). Of course, these street dogs are not bull masstifs but we have so many domesticated animals with all sorts of 'common' problems that are not that common when they are free and wild under much harsher conditions and don't get injected with vaccines or fed with their Chinese-toxin laced canned food.
The thing Ray is that big dogs just don't have long life spans. The only dog big dog that I knew that could make it to 14 was The Great Pyrenees. I was always a roti or German Shepard owner. I don't hate small dogs but never had one. My German shepherd died of liver cancer month after his vaccines. I will never talk to the veterinarian again.

I keep getting text messages from the vet’s office reminding me that my dog is due for vaccinations!!!
Don't do it.
