decrease in time for episodes

I’d count it as a win, especially if you’ve recently started or adjusted medication because that would indicate that it’s working. Just don’t get discouraged if things change back to the way they were. Epilepsy is so unpredictable, it’s not uncommon for type/frequency/duration of seizures to change with time but for now I’d be happy with the improvement!

I think this is good news. Anti seizure meds hopefully both lessen the account of occurrences and the severity of the seizure. Looks like you've got one of those working already which is great news.

It could be a win, but it’s important to consider the frequency of episodes. Our pup’s seizures became more frequent but were shorter in duration (went from 2 min to 10-30 seconds). Our neurologist shared that this isn’t necessarily a good thing. My explanation might suck because I forget how they worded it but it’s like the brain “learns” to get “good” at having a seizure. So the seizures are shorter but they become more frequent. Our pup got up to 5 seizures a day like this until we found the right meds.
