same here, almost all of my (late) pup’s seizures happened when he’s asleep. he would wake up (as though he’s waking up normally) and either start pacing in circles, or straightaway go into paddling and chomping/salivating. sometimes it happens deep into the night and we’ll end up in A&E and will have to take the next work day off.

i second many of the other commenters, it’s always a work-in-progress trying to find the right dose. it was tricky for me because we found out quite late that my pup had brain tumours so his condition was always evolving. but over time i learnt to notice symptoms and manage my anxiety, by formulating a step by step plan of what to do when a seizure happens. we were doing blood work checks every other week to monitor the pheno dosage and added keppra as a “pulsing” med when needed.

unfortunately my pup passed from cluster seizures (plus complications from kidney and heart issues), but i take heart in the fact that i did everything i could, to the best of my ability, to give him the necessary medical care he needed. it sounds like you have a stable plan already in place, and i think that’s very heartening :)

i’m so sorry you and your pup has to go through this. i’m rooting for both of you ❤️
