The website on the first post is an excellent source.
Another thing I learned from the site that really helps is to put a ice pack on the lower back during the seizure. It brings down the body tempreture and helps them to have shorter attacks and also helps them recover more quickly. I've noticed considerable difference using one.
We also have her wear a collar with a bell on it so we can hear if she has an episode while we are sleeping or in another room. You'll hear the difference in the sound the bell makes.
Jewel was having 2-3 cluster seizures every 5-10 days and single seizures up to 3-4 times a week. We controlled her episodes using only potassium bromide (KBr). We chose not to use the Phenobaribtol because we did not want to risk any damage to her liver. |
