This sort of stuff is common with these meds. My chihuahua takes phenobarbitol twice daily and we were warned by the vet to expect him to be sick at first, very sleepy, lethargic, and maybe confused. I was lucky and he escaped too many side effects. He did gain a bit of weight and it has been a massive, ongoing issue with his weight. He is on a diet constantly and I watch his calories religiously.
I really hope your guy gets better. Try to stick it out if you can, as his body adjusts he will do better. Put in a call to the neurologist if you're concerned. |
