I agree with the others--have thorough testing done and make absolutely sure it's epilepsy before treating with phenobarbitol. I haven't had a Yorkie with this problem but I did have a Siberian Husky with epilepsy a few years ago. The vet told me that once I started phenobarbitol, the Husky would have to be on it her entire life since withdrawal would lead to worse seizures than she had before. I ended up not treating her with phenobarbitol, and just holding and comforting her (and cleaning up her pee) after each seizure because relatively speaking, her seizures were not that severe. She had them about once every week or two... |
