Canine Epilepsy

Hi

Tia and Gem are dalmatians (mother and daughter), Gem (daughter) who is 4 has had epilepsy since she was 2, she is currently having seizers every 2 to 4 months but in clusters so we have had no choice to put her on medication for the rest of her life, both epiphen and genitrix, with diazipan prescribed for emergencies during the siezers, on the back of this she is weeing in her sleep and seems unable to hold it for any periods ie she is getting me up 2 or 3 times every night to go out. They are both on diets of dried food which has no colourants, cereals, preservatives etc. Both dogs are very fit and healthy and have been spayed. Has anyone got any advice on prevention/improvement of fits and any tips on the bladder issue as I need to put them in kennels for 2 weeks in November and I really don't feel comfortable due to trusting them to have the time to change her bed etc?

Thanks
M
