welcome
glad you are living with a better human now

is that how your vet suggested?

Dylan clusters badly, annd he doesnt get it till he has a second one in less the 5 hours and cant have it again for 6 hours.
he can have the pb more often. but not the valium

I am so sorry to hear of Finns passing. your run was a sign of hope for us. as hard as it must have been, you did the best for your friend. what good is living if you are not happy? he is at peace now, and amoung good friends, so many have passed before him. I think there is a special playground on ...

new food? bad food?

both dogs started doing the same thing at about the same time? any new or diffrent cleaners/chemicals?

1 seizure in 4 months would not be a reason to change dose. as much as we may want it. very few dogs ever stop compleatly Dylan has made it as long as 11 months I was so looking forward to hitting the 1 year mark. didnt happen. he has to have a compo of meds too but he has potassium bromide maybe sw...

no, it wont hurt. I give dylan extra doses after his seizures I also give him a "boost" before I go to work if the weather is calling for strong thunderstorms. especially if the levels are low to start with. at one time my vet suggested splitting dyland dose to 3 times he thought he might be metobol...

another border collie, what a shame.

reduseing the PB is not a good thing
and finding a good vet isnt easy but well worth it.
mine isnt an expert, but he cares and is learning more all the time.

my vet thought I wasa little off when I told him about the ice creamm an d ice packs, but tough, they work for Dylan

hello, sorry you are here. there are ,unfournatly several border collie or crosses here. and yes it does seem the shots affect them most. so do flea and heart worm. one of Dylans worste clusters came 3 days after his yearly shots. he does not get them any more. the abca has epilepsy listed as the #2...

dylan had 3 times a day, both the last months of oct. but he got 1 full morning and nite and a half in the afternoon most of his clusters came at nite. the vet thought he was metabelizing it to fast. so far his pattren is driving both me and the vet nuts.no seizures from nov-aug. then clusters in th...

we used to let Dylan have free roam of the house, but now most of his seizures are at nite, or while he is sleeping we keep him in the bed room with us. either with the door shut or a baby gate accrossed it, our bedroom is upstairs, and we had major worries about him and the stairs. we are lucky in ...

I heard once a very brief referance to a type of epilepsy that caused a dog to attack, but have never been able to find it in my searches. I have tried cuz Dylan sometimes gets a very bad attitude, even before the siezures started. never just out of the blue like that, but he has issues with certian...

so sorry you had to join us. I remember Dylans very first, I was on the phone screamming at my vet before it ever stopped! his second one came 3 hours later, I had him in my car and on phone to vet before that one stopped. and trust me when I tell you, a 50lbs seazing border collie is not and easy t...
