worried

Puppy
So my dog probly has epilepsy.  And i'm scared shitless.  hes been having fits for a while now...and we took him to the vet a couple of times.  First time was after his first fit, we took him to the emrgency vet because it was at night.  They said it was probly epilepsy and to take him to see our regular vet the next day.  We decided not to in case it was just a one off fit.  Wishful thinking i guess.  But anyway.  He didnt have another fit for maybe a week.  And then had 2 i think.  So we took hmi to the vet the next day.  our normal vet.  He said it was probly epilepsy too.  Until he saw how many fleas oscar had.  He said the fits might be caused by the fleas.  So we got lots of flea stuff and treated him.  After a few weeks he stopped having fits.  So we thought wow. it was the fleas. he'll be fine now.  But then on friday, he had another fit.  So we took him to the vets straight away to get blood tests done.  We got the results back today.  they were clear. so it probly is epilepsy.  In the mean time hes had LOTS of fits.  Since friday that is.  He's probly had about 10.  So this morning we picked up the drugs for him to treat epilepsy from the vet.  he said they'd probly make him a little dopey.  So tonight we gave him two with his food.  then about an hour later he had another fit.  Then about half an hour later, he was dopey. VERY dopey. like layed on the floor and didnt move and couldnt focus on anything dopey.  He was like that for about 20mins.  Mum got worried and told me about it.  Incase its not because of the meds and something else is wrong.  But he got up after a while, went over to the couch and curled up and went to sleep.  Mums sleeping in the lounge with him tonight to keep an eye on him. I hope he's ok.  I love him so much and dont want to lose him.
