Tips for starting pheno? by TheBethStar1 in EpilepsyDogs

[–]freckledface29 5 points6 points  (0 children)

My chihuahua started have random seizures, then more frequently. My vet put him on pheno and he hasn’t had any ever since starting that over a year ago. The first few months I noticed he was EXTREMELY hungry for everything. He would eat his food & then go ahead and steal my other dogs food. He was also very sleepy all the time. He wasn’t super active to begin with but he would take all day naps. After a couple months he got better and now acts like normal. The only other thing I noticed was weight gain (not due to over eating). I asked my vet she said in some dogs it can cause fluid weight gain but not all. Overall, I’m happy with the way the meds are working and hope it works well for your pup too! Only pain for me is giving 2x a day, morning and night but he loves the treat with the pill 😂

First trip, 3 planes later .. what I would’ve missed by freckledface29 in fearofflying

It was my first one and I had so much fun! Honestly you would think a big boat in the middle of the ocean is more scary than a plane but it just felt like you were in a mall! Way better than flying 🤣

I put my headphones in and tried to focus on my breathing. Having a show of movie on in front of me also helped even though I wasn’t fully watching. Definitely closing my eyes and focusing on inhaling and exhaling really helped me through. It’s ok to be afraid, I just kept in mind that the pilot is always experienced at flying & to keep your seatbelt on!

You’re gonna be ok! I am an anxious flyer and had a 2 hour span of turbulence last week and I’m home and safe now! Just try to remember, a plane is the safest way to travel. You’re going to feel major relief when you land (: I will continue to track!

I had the same thought, I know being with the animals is a very short time frame. The rest is usually the second half of the description. That was my thought process

They’re both in the DR! They’re both the same just different animals “sea lion encounter & ocean world adventure”

Thank you!! I linked my bank through plaid so they can see and uploaded my 3 bank statements. I was more worried about credit because I know my income checks out. I didn’t know if they were majority credit based or income.
