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  |
Potassium Bromide (KBr) takes 3-4 months to get into the system. It is also pretty expensive and has to be compounded by only a handful of veterinary pharmacies across the country. Vets will often start w/pheno since it is less expensive and will get into their system immediately, then taper pheno down if KBr is added.
