 phenobarbital bad
I've nothing psoitive about phenobarbital other than it is in fact used for seizures, my vet recommended Valium both during a seizure to aid in the stopping preventing liver kidney damage and further neurological issue and as a treatment for "cluster seizures",along with another one started with a L, he said pheno concerned him in small dogs if not altogether. Yes I know they are the frequency, the problem with cluster seizures is that there is several in a short period causing damage before and on top of damage, and they over stress more than regular seizures. I appreciate the link, I have been sent that one, I'm just frustrated in not finding seizures similar to Elvis' I'm looking for a medicine that won't cause the same damage as the seizure itself, and again I'm strictly doing research right now I haven't yet taken him to Davis for testing and gotten a recommendations. I prefer holistic an homeopathic treatments, pharmaceuticals are great, unfortunately many of them are just as harmful if not more harmful than the issue you are treating for...please no one take that as a justification for not treating a dog with the proper treatment, I just like to know all possibilities and the ramifications of all possibilities, before proceding with the best treatment.
For example, my female schnauzer started getting beef stains , everyone swears by this product Angle Eyes, (hope they don't sue me for this) well yes it seems to work great but it contains a very serious regimens of antibiotics in it, why would I want to continually make my dog immune to antibiotics and giver her antibiotic daily for no infection? I was also suggested to use a peroxide solution...on her eyes and mouth and paws where she will eat it? I don't think so...I did more research, white dogs should be on special diets and groomed more often and the real issue was her food and to ensure she stays dry and is treated for yeast infections mildly. I changed her diet groom her 3 times a week instead of once and her beef staining on her feet, eyes, ears, and mouth is virtually gone.
I'm just looking for a shared situation and the advice someone can offer on everything the vet might not consider telling me...& EVERYONE SHOWING SUPPORT ON HERE HAS BEEN A BLESSING IN ITSELF TY TY TY |
