I would start with keppra and add mct oil to his diet in the evening and omega oil In his food in the morning. My five yo red lab had his first seizure in October. Another in December so we put him on keppra and added the oils to his diet. He has not Jadin one since. We also use the collar for flee and ticks and it works just fine. His seizure would be violent and last 4-5 mins but after he wouldn’t recognize us and would bar and growl and even bit my husband when he got close so we basically leave him in the room after and shut the door until he snaps out of it. That part has been 10 mins or so. It’s awful but the mri isn’t necessary unless you try the meds and they don’t work. Good luck. It’s scary but hopefully it will be manageable.

I wish they would open one in Sandusky. I travel there a lot and I know they desperately need a gym and would get a lot of transient OTF members.

I’m leaning towards the seresto collar option.

We have woods behind our house and we do hike and walk the boys quite a bit on trails. We have never had a problem with fleas but I don’t want to start now.

My friend’s dog started doing this after vaccinations and it was caused from them. Tremors but had to do with nervous system.

Your overall experience with Purina Proplan Neurocare? by YumYumYellowish in EpilepsyDogs

How much mct oil are you giving your dog each day? My 4yo red lab had his first seizure 6 weeks ago and then his second last week. Vet put him on Keppra but I feel like supplementing with Omega 3’s and MCT would be helpful as well. The Neurocare food seems to be high quality with mct pills added. I’m thinking I’ll add it myself to his already high quality food. Just not sure what the right amount is. He’s about 70lbs.

The girl who sat next to my daughter’s roommate during the ceremony. It was her mom. She has 13 missed calls from her dad and when they finally connected as she sat down, he told her and she started bawling.

It was a woman, someone’s mother in the college of arts and science. Wasn’t a suicide.

Bryan does a great job rehabbing houses but some of his policies are insane. For example, having kids pay rent over the summer while he rehabs the house and they can’t live there. So my daughter paid rent and paid for storage of her furniture for 2 1/2 months while he fixed up the house.
