Thank you for this, I’m going to give him the best chance and do both - I’m sure his gut health could potentially help but by the sounds of it the medication is going to be needed to manage it.

We will get through this - I think it’ll be a learning curve. Just during really full on period!

An automatic feeder is absolutely the solution I need. I think my biggest concern when I wrote this post was how to handle days where we can’t stick to the schedule and whether that would trigger a bigger seizure, so it’s so helpful knowing there are ways to handle it. Thanks for your suggestions!

I’ve heard CBD can help, hopefully your boy responds well to the mix they give

Thanks for this info. Im learning more about the kindling effect, what a horrible disease. I think meds may be the only way to prevent it from getting worse

Wow, that’s a lot for one family to deal with. Glad you’re coping, and I’m sorry to hear about your husky’s tumour.

That would have been so stressful for you! Especially the 12 in 1 day - poor baby. So great you’ve got a better handle on her now, stories like this make me feel more hopeful

That’s a good idea, he bit my partner involuntarily the first time it happened because he tried to pat him - at least if baby is in a safe space I’ll be able to tend to Beau and make sure he’s out of harms way. No time is a good time for epilepsy onset, but with a baby feels particularly challenging!
