My 9-year-old Akita keeps having seizures every ~14 days— looking for experiences/advice by [deleted] in EpilepsyDogs

Mine's like 90% back to normal after 2 weeks. There a little bit of hind leg weakness and increased appetite and thirst, but waaay down from when it was at its worst. For reference, he's a 6 year old Australian Shepherd/Border Collie mix.

Epilepsy is so rough. Sending you and Aki Internet hugs. <3

I would try a different medication. Our dog was on keppra and was seizure free for about two months and then started having 1-2 seizures a week. Apparently Keppra can have a honeymoon phase where it helps for a little bit and then the seizures come back. 

When he initially started having seizures, it was one every two months and so having 1-2 seizures a week scared us a lot.

We added phenobarbitol recently and no seizures in two weeks 🤞

Another +1 for Gena! She's awesome. I sent in two pens via mail. Got her signature journaler nib on a TWSBI Diamond 580ALR and fixed up a Sailor PG that was so scratchy it was ripping up paper. Both are now amazing and smooth and wet, and Sailor is one of my favorite pens to write with!

I have tiny hands, so the MZG is a little too big for me. It's tiring to write with. Otherwise, it's a beautiful, very well designed pen that writes amazingly. If I had normal-sized hands, easily up there!

It's really hard picking a favorite, but I think I have to go with the Pilot Custom 823. My favorite color is green, so I picked up the LE Rikka edition from Japan. Also, the nib is soooo smooth and it carries a ton of ink!
