It's going to be tricky to find the right dose for a growing puppy. Your vet may add another medication like potassium bromide if pheno alone doesn't control Max's seizures.
I received an email back from the LSU specialist. She says that limping is not commonly associated with epilepsy and she feels that the original diagnosis of idiopathic epiliepsy may not be 100% accurate at this point. This may now be out of her domain. She can refer me to neurologic specialists in other states.

She also stated that she hopes that it's just a minor injury. I am in hysterics and feel like I'm in the twilight zone. Max is still limping. However, he was able to just jump and climb on up on the back of the couch and sit in the windowsill.

What other diseases would these be symptoms for????? As of now, he has seizures and he limps. Everything else is normal.
