She had cluster seizures for awhile which was very frightening. Her last episode was four years ago when she had 48 hours of seizures. I was afraid I was going to lose her.

Knock wood, she hasn't had a seizure in a couple of years. I have also been able to keep her liver healthy with Marin and Denosyl and a homecooked liver friendly diet. Her ALT is completely normal (79) after 10 years on Phenobarbital. She has to be on a very high dose, unfortunately, even w/KBr. I'm sure she was having seizures before I adopted her and her former owner didn't take her to the vet. Had she been on medication earlier, her epilepsy might not be so bad. She was having a seizure every three days or so when I adopted her.

wow she hit the doggy lottery finding you for sure. I feel they come into our lives for a reason

One of my clients has a malt and he started having seizures the day they met with me he was at the vet and they put him on pheno not sure if they did the pb with it but did not sound like it. He was having rolling seizures out of no where at about 5 i think he is.

Do you think alot of this epilepsy comes from vaccinations as it seems to happen after they have had a couple vaccines ?
