Caroline Just Died From Seizures, caroline just died from seizures Options

My dog, Caroline died this past tuesday morning from having over 20 grand mal seizures in an hour then falling into an almost coma-like state that I thought she might come out of. She did not and died an hour later in mine and my boyfriend's arms.
Caroline was almost three years old and was diagnosed with idiopathic epilepsy a year and a half ago. She had been taking 4 phenobarbitol a day and I would give her a dose of valium if she had a cluster of seizures. She would always come around after a few hours or a day and be her happy, beautiful self. All of my vets told me that dogs don't die from seizures and that Caroline could easily live a long life with medication and love. I gave her more love than I have ever given anything and that was not enough.
I would like to talk with anyone who has had a dog die from epilepsy.
I need to connect with someone else to heal this pain.
I live in Portland, Oregon and bought Caroline from a blue heeler breeder in Eola Hills when she was 8 weeks old. Her birth date, with her litter is 12/17/05.
I want to find this breeder again and let them know about this tragedy.
If anyone has any information they can give me about where to locate these people, I would greatly appreciate it.

I know you posted this in 2006 and i am very sorry about your caroline, one of my boy's just died on oct. 22 2011 he had been having seizures for about a year and a half, we tried barbital but the dosages got so high (280 mg a day) that he was turning into a vegetable so we wheened him off barbital and started him on brohomohide he seemed to be responding well to it. then one month 17 seizures in 24 hours, but he bounced back. the next month only 4 seizures and very mild things seemed hopefull then 2 weeks later on oct 20th he had 10 seizures all mild he had one more on friday and seemed to be out of it. then sat. morn we went for our morn walk, came home had breakfast and gave him his usual treats, at 10:00am he came to me whining ( he would alway's do this when he wanted more treats) i just told him to go lay down, a minute later he went into a grand mal and never came out of it and died at 4:00 pm i gave him valium but the vet said there was nothing anyone could do for 6 hours i watched him shaking with his teeth cattering and at 4:00 pm he died. my world fell apart absolutely the worst day of my life, i would give anything just to have that moment back where he came to me whining just to hold him and tell him how much i loved him i just can't shake that guilt the pics are of both my boy's lucky is the darker one this pic was taken when they were 3 months old ohh how much i miss him.....
