Seizure pets


So here is a post dedicated to my dear Dizzy Devil. Dizzy was aquired from my first vets after being hit by a car when he was approx 10 months old and left on the stairs to die. After major surgery for his hips, major surgery for his head, a neuter and some TLC he came to the Alva Ranch where he has been ever since. A few years ago he had his first Seizure, then the progressivly got more severe and more common. He was then put on Phenobarb ( a common seizure medication). Worked for a bit, then the dose had to be increased, and repeat that a few more times to now he is at 4 pills a day plus another medication called Potassium Bromide. His everyday being has gotten worse-he sleeps a lot, pees uncontrollably and runs into a lot of walls. We are desperate at this point and am willing to try something new. Talking to my vets tomorrow to see what we can do.
