i always thought they did PB first then if seizures continued went to phenob as my friends dog has epilepsy and is only on PB

Growing up our sheltie had epilepsy so i know what the seizures look like but never knew much about anything back then. I do not know if she was on any meds. Did they have those meds years ago? She was pts when i was in 8th grade
