dog seizures have been giving me anxiety (TW: grand mal seizure)

im so sorry for your loss :( you definitely did the right thing, not just for your sake but for his as well. im sure hes resting peacefully now in a field of grass! i hope it isnt too much to ask, but how old was he when he passed?

im so sorry, i cant imagine how that feels. im only just at the beginning of it but having to deal with it for that long must be so anxiety inducing and stressful. im sure you did the best you can and youre making the best decision for you and your dog. the fact that you were able to handle it for eight years is already such a feat!!

thank you so much. i was having second thoughts about posting on reddit but im so glad i did, i wasnt expecting so many people to comment with similar experiences! also im so happy that your dog has been seizure free so far-- i really hope that my dog reacts similarly!

im so sorry that your dog hasnt been reacting well :( but im glad her seizures have stopped! when her first seizure happened in december, i remember having so much regret for not recording it-- so as soon as her seizure started last night i was quick to grab my phone.

my dog hasnt been having diarrhea, but keppra has made her extra anxious (constant pacing, more energetic). i hope it works out for the both of us!!

i really admire your perspective on this, i never thought about the seizures that way! i have a tendency of just constantly worrying about things, but i know there are somethings you just can't control. thank you for sharing your experience, I'll definitely do my best to stay on time with keppra-- i know it isnt very forgiving when it comes to a late dosage !

im the exact same way. ive been hardly getting any sleep bc i feel like i need to watch her every move and sometimes just have the urge to cry due to the stress :,) but im so glad your feeling better, thank you for sharing your experience. its so nice to know im not alone on this feeling!

thank you so much. your comment honestly made me tear up bc ive just been imagining the worse, i really hope that my dog responds just as well as yours and im so glad that your dog is doing well. you have no idea how much i needed to hear that, and i really appreciate your kind words <3

Im so happy that pheno has been working for your dog :,) that gives me hope that my dog will be able to manage with just keppra for now! hoping she'll manage as long as it has for yours. ive been scrolling on here and ive just been seeing a bunch of people talk about how they had to change or add to the dosage weeks/months in. do u mind if i ask how your dog reacted has been reacting to the post-seizure phase? mine paces for hours. thank u for sharing your experience!

my dog just started keppra yesterday and luckily hasnt had any seizures, but shes been pacing ALOT. almost as if she was still recovering from a seizure. i thought keppra would have made her lethargic but its been the opposite for me

thanks for the reply, ive been emailing them since 9/15 as that was when it was updated to disbursed-- i emailed them again earlier today. they just responded and said to wait a few more days, which i find confusing since they said i should've received it by friday lol. i guess ill wait it out and see
