Some of the more severe cases also had seizures and memory loss. In some cases, that memory loss was permanent. They couldn’t make new memories after that.

Then, they could take those on a daily basis to help control their seizures. We can’t do that with sea lions. The sea lions are wild animals.

With the sea lions, in many cases, they’re able to get to the shore where they’re found having seizures.
