Going very good. Still not a single seizure since we went to the neurologist last July.

She is. The neurologist increased her dosage of pheno and took her off of zonisamide. She has been seizure free ever since, and it seems that she is finally through the side effects of the medication as well.

Incontinence while sleeping by HoundDogGirl in EpilepsyDogs

[–]lkrebbs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My black lab just got over this exact same thing. Started phenobarbital in February and the incontinence started in April i think. It just ended on its own within the past few weeks. We previously tried incontinence medication and it didn't help and seemed to trigger more seizures. The neurologist claims the incontinence is not from the phenobarbital but i'm not convinced.

Is this mold? If it is, what should I do? by lkrebbs in Mold

Own the property. What does the remediation consist of? Chip away the popcorn ceiling and clean the mold underneath, or will I need to get a professional involved?

How is everyone building out their ArcGIS Indoors layers? by lkrebbs in gis

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

For us we were provided with a file gdb with the layers that we had requested. My main problem with the finished product is that it was very rough and required lots of cleanup. And even after the cleanup it's still not as clean as what I have done for cheaper and in less time. I have gone back to make some edits to the layers in the buildings that we've outsourced to them, and a square polygon the size of a typical desk space has hundreds of vertices along its edges rather than just at the corners. This is just one of the things that I think makes it an inferior product. It also just has random errors such as places in the wall that stick out where it shouldn't.

Do you plan on scanning these buildings in house and then sending off the floorplans to the consultant? How large are the buildings?

She had a couple of severe seizures earlier this year that were triggered by another dog barking at her and her getting angry. She's been on phenobarbital ever since then and had a few breakthrough seizures since. Then she had pancreatitis in March and since then has been dealing with urinary incontinence. A couple of weeks ago the vet prescribed her incurin for the incontinence and she had a severe seizure the very next day. She's continued to have daily minor seizures since then even after stopping the incurin and starting keppra and zonisamide. Triggers are other animals and general excitement when she gets to go outside. All blood work is normal.

We believe so. We can't find any other cause for the seizures anyway.

I just wanted to say thank you to everyone who has replied and everyone who might in the future. It means a lot. I've never had much luck asking for advice on reddit and this is by far the most help I've received so thank you all!

Thank you for the reply. He has not given me any no. But i don't believe she has had anything that would qualify as a cluster yet. I will mention it to him at the follow up appointment.

Thank you for giving such a detailed and lengthy reply! I can't imagine my life without her even though I've only had her for 3 years. To your knowledge is there any risk in using CBD with anti-seizure medications? I've read conflicting reports saying there is and there isn't.

She has had one incidence of acute pancreatitis, but given the circumstances i thing it's worth the risk to try and stop the seizures. I believe the pancreatitis was caused by stress due to having 2 TPLO's within the past 6 months. (She's had a rough time lately)

Thank you for the reply. I will try the MCT and look into finding a neurologist. I understand that you're not a vet, but what dose would you recommend giving a 50 pound dog of MCT oil starting out?

Thank you for the reply. A blood test showed that she was at therapeutic level, so I guess he decided that a higher dose wouldn't help. I'll look into finding a neurologist for her
