| So glad you took Max to the ER. Normal liver enzymes under seizure conditions do not seem like shunt to me, but I'd rule out it out. Keep us posted.

| He does need a BAT, but I agree, with neuro symptoms and no elevated enzymes it is pretty likely that this is something else. If that comes back okay, you may just want to go to a neurologist to see what they say. Wow, valium and pheno are a lot to fight!

| I've been calling to check on him every 2 hours. They said that at 2 he had an episode where he seemed "disoriented" but he come out of it himself. I just called again, he's awake and doing well. I'll be going up there @ 11. Visitation is only on the "odd" hour. He might come home later today. I'll tell you guys, I'm scared...he's due for his oral dose @ 12, but how long after his oral dose is he considered stable?

| I don't know the answer to that question. Speak with the vet and ask lots of questions! Don't bring him home if you have any doubts! I probably would leave him there and take him directly to a specialist in the AM if he were my pup.

| My prayers for you and Max. My Max has idiopathic epilepsy and has been taking phenobarbital for 8 months. Quote:
Note that Max is going to be really sleepy. Both drugs will pretty much knock him out. My Max was really lethargic for about a week after starting Pheno and then about 3 days after upping his doses. I also agree that a neurologist may be in order to rule out everything possible.

I hope Max is doing better. My Sammy had seizures too and it takes a little while for the pheno levels to build up in their system. Sammy also takes KBR. He hasn't had a seizure since 2002. I'm praying for you and Max. Sending hugs and good thoughts to you both. Hang in there! | |

| It seems all his blood work being normal would rule out a lot of things. But, it does not rule out neurological problems. If this were my dog, my next step would be a neurologist and I would consider it an urgency to get there as soon as I could get an appointment.
