| I'm a little nervous but not exactly worried. The phenobarb is barely in his system. It's almost below a therapeutic range which makes me feel very good about doing this. Max never had grand mal seizures. He only had focal, head bobbing seizures but his legs would slip out from underneath him. His seizures were minimal, but they were about every 15 minutes, all day long. Now that I type about it, it reminds me how awful it really was

| Of course he has phenobarbital in his system. He's been on it for almost 2 years. I am surprised you would even question whether or not I have spoken with a vet about this. I thought you knew me a little better than that.

| I was not questioning you at all. I was only commenting because you said he hardly had any phenobarb in his system and I wondered if the vet had said that because I don't think that is the right interpretation. Maybe I am wrong. I don't know..... Sorry I asked. Hope all goes well for Max.

I've been thinking about taking him off his meds for about 9 months. It's a tough situation. I don't want to take an epileptic dog off his seizure medication. However, I don't want to medicate a dog who doesn't need it. I do appreciate your concern

| Sending prayers for Max that all will go well and that he won't need to take pheno anymore. Max and Cooper will still want "medicine" time though for the treat that goes with it, won't they? You are going to have to fake it. That may not be a bad idea anyway. Sometimes the strangest things can have a positive effect on health in humans, so I imagine dogs would be the same.

| I'll be keeping Max in my prayers. I hope all goes well with weaning him off the Pheno. Give those two boys a hug from Betty Boop and me.

| That would be wonderful if Max no longer has to take the Pheno. I'll be thinking of him and hoping it goes well. Big hugs for the boys.
