What should I do if my dog has NCL5?

I'm truly sorry — NCL5 is one of the hardest diagnoses. Focus on quality of life: keep the environment safe and predictable, manage seizures with anticonvulsants when they develop, maintain routine and familiar surroundings (confused dogs do much better with consistency), and provide gentle enrichment matching current abilities. Monitor for difficulty swallowing. Think about quality-of-life benchmarks now — what would tell you it's time? Please inform the breeder so they can prevent the pairing from being repeated. Our vets can support you with seizure management and the difficult conversations ahead.
