Daisy is a year old now and still having seizures. Currently she is on phenobarbital (5 cc's a day) and potassium bromide (.8 cc's a day) and still her levels are not where they should be and she is having seizures. The pharmacist recently asked if she was metabolizing her meds since for her weight her pheno dosage would be equivilent to a 200lb man drinking 5 quarts of pheno a day....lethal. I don't know what else to do. I have asked for further testing but LSU (the nearest vet school) doesn't feel it is bad enough and will not preform tests. I am open to suggestions.....
