That is exactly one of my greatest fears...doing more harm then good. I seriously had an appointment made for him to get some blood work taken before starting any medications and I got sick, just a cold, and cancelled. The vet was discussing potassium bromide as her drug of choice...I don't know. My hubby doesn't really want to give him anything, so I do have to consider his thoughts as well. But then he has another seizure and I feel like I'm letting him down by not treating them...and I do hate to see him go though them. My poor baby boy...he's had 2 episodes last week.
