| Your other thread stated that she continued to have seizures even with the meds so this makes me think more towards LS... Lactulose can stop seizures in LS dogs. I copied these posts from your first thread... Quote:

Since then over the next 3 days even while in hospital for 2 days had continued having them often even on meds. she also has no other symptoms of liver shunt. However now today she is back to normal but she is still on valium and prednesone. If anyone has had this problem please let me know. Pray for epilepsy. | Quote:

In a dog that is seizing due to toxins from LS, Lactulose can be administered rectally in an enema. The instructions are on the label. The worst side effect from Lactulose is diarrhea, and if your dog does not have LS, the Lactulose won't hurt her.
Also, prednisone can cause inaccurate results in a BAT (Bile Acid Test). | |
