that's good. glad to hear that the phenobarb is working with your girl. I wasn't saying anything against you. I just didn't want Shelly to think that phenobarb was gonna fix whatever is wrong with Zuzi after having a possible seizure. Alot of people see a dog have a seizure and immediately assume the dog has epilepsy but what lot of people don't know is that epilepsy is basically the term used to describe seizures with no given cause. If tests are run and the doc can't seem to find something wrong, they'll just call it epilepsy and hope the phenobarb does the trick. for some dogs it does. and it works really well. but for other dogs they can take the meds every day and still have a couple seizures a month.
