This must have been terribly scary for you!!! I hope no damage was done to poor Elvis.

Max has been on phenobarbital for about 1 1/2 years now. He started it when he was 12 weeks old. It took quite a few weeks to regulate his levels and his system. I am extremely happy to say that since he's been regulated, he has only had one episode (which the vets think might have been a seizure). About 6 months ago I started Max on a daily liver supplement, Denamarin, which has since proven to lower his liver levels as per our last liver blood test. Although my vet says I only need to check his liver once per year, I'm slightly pro-active (ok, paranoid) and I test him once every 6 months.

Max has done incredibly well on phenobarbital and I'm hopeful Elvis will too. Please contact me if you would like more information about our experience with this drug.
