Tommy started having seizures in July 16. As of now, he has had 4 seizures and quite a few 'episodes'. These episodes consist of his equilibrium & depth perception almost being non-existent. When he does through the seizures, i massages all of his paws and this tends to help him come out of it faster. As my Vet is looking to put Tommy on Ace-inhibitors, I am concerned as what could be the lasting damage(if this prolongs his life). Would i need to look into kidney supplements?

My 13 years old Boxer got ACE inhibitors after the doctor found she has a valve insufficiency (aorta) and a heart base tumor. She also got pain medication for her arthrosis. She took it one week always at 18:30. Then one day she slept until afternoon and for 1-2 hours she was walking like she has rubber legs and doesn’t know how to properly use them. The next they she would sleep from 20:00 to 21:00 pm next day, 25 hours non-stop, without eating or standing up. When I tried to wake her up, she looked at me for a second with her eyes opened only a tiny bit and then fell back to sleep. For one hour I wasn’t even able to wake her up at all. After that we gave her water with a syringe and this made her wake up, drink on her own, get hungry and finally stand up. In the next hour she became her normal self. The vital parameters I checked were fine (I gave up finding her pulse), no other symptoms were present. We imagined her face was swollen a bit, but we weren’t sure. I called the vet and she said she doubt it’s the medication as she took it already for a week, “but I can discontinue as she doesn’t really need them.” This is was I did. The condition was 4 days ago and she is totally fine since that. She never acted like that before. Could it have been the ACE inhibitors? Should I discontinue them or should the vet give me other meds? She got full dosage since day 1.
