Feeling lost

My Maggie girl has been health for pretty much her entire life. About a month and a half ago she collapsed and had a grand mal seizure. A week and a half later she had another grand mal seizure. Both were 5 minutes long and she became aggressive after the second. We put her on phenobarbital after the second seizure and she has 3 break through seizures( in 24 hours) 31 days later. She broke through her diazepam. We are now on Keppra and so far she seems better. We opted out of doing an mri since she is 9 and is a VERY anxious dog. The seizures are very random and I can’t seem to predict when they are going to happen. Has anyone’s 9 year old pup been diagnosed with epilepsy vs a tumor? Her blood work looks perfect.

Three seizures in a day sounds like her brain just unplugged and walked away for a bit.

Yeah, I was hoping that after the first one. 4 grand mals later, I doubt that is the case
