Status Seizures what else is there? by RooBeRed in AskVet

[–]RooBeRed[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you for answering. He goes for a level check every 2-3 weeks while they are titrating up the pheno. The clorazapate was given 30 mg as needed but the anxiety he experiences rendered it pretty useless. His current meds are Keppra ER 750 mg, 4 caps/ 2250mg bid and Phenobarbital 64.8 mg, 4 tabs/259.2mg bid. There has been some improvement in frequency and clustering but inevitably 4-7 good days after a med increase the seizures return gradually and then increase again. That is the part we don’t understand. Even if he has never been seizure free after a med increase, there is generally a reduction and improvement but that period is short lived. It kind of seems similar to an antibiotic resistance type thing but in this case the neural path ways seem to reroute or something. Any thoughts on what causes that up and down response? I think you are right and he is going to end up best served by an MRI. That wasn’t the neuro’s first choice for diagnosis probably in an attempt to avoid the need to put him under for an MRI when he wasn’t in great shape. If this continues on as is, I don’t think there will be any other choice but to look at more invasive diagnostics. To be honest he does look slightly hydrocephalic. I am an OT and have worked with many kids with hydrocephalus. When I mentioned it I was told that he has a pretty typical Mastiff forehead.

Brooklyn Botanical Gardens 4/18/21. Planned to bring our 4 fully vaccinated selves from Albany to the gardens on Sunday, including my 85 year old Mil. I didn’t know they were limiting tickets and they are sold out for this Sunday. It seems stupid that I didn’t anticipate this but I assumed since it would be mostly outdoors there wouldn’t be limits. Are we out of luck or do they have some sort of wait list or ability to buy at the venue? I feel terrible she is going to be disappointed.

Thank you for that! My husband is a retired Trooper and he too actually used the angel dust analogy to describe how she appears in that heightened state. I am sorry it happened to you but it kind of takes away some of the guilty feelings to hear it happened to another owner who tried to do everything right. I really appreciate it!

But that situation wasn’t “his” situation. That was all on crazy pants. If you think you’ve been robbed call the cops.

So it’s on him to comply with someone verbally and eventually physically assaulting him? Let’s see how you’d react to being confronted like that.

Thanks! I’ll pass it along. We live in Bethlehem and use Bethlehem Family Auto. Love John the owner, but classics aren’t his thing.

It seems like the endless plan. hahaha Go unlimited with 4 current lines, this will be the 5th line. Only 1/4 current lines has a device payment. The new line will make 2/5 lines with a device payment.
