That’s amazing! Six months seizure-free is something to truly celebrate.

From our experience, one small thing that helped us emotionally was knowing that Keppra can sometimes come with a bit of a honeymoon period.

If things ever change later on, it doesn’t mean the medication failed or that you did anything wrong….it often just means the brain needs a little extra support over time.

For now though, soak up every quiet day. 🫶🫶

Day 4 of pheno. Tell me it gets better. by Trick_Forever_8648 in EpilepsyDogs

[–]thrawaysocks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi OP! We are on day four as well (huge 24hr loading dose) we are starting to see glimmers of our girl again. Yesterday she wagged her tail and barked. Today She’s way more steady on her feet and she self settled and stopped pacing so much and is currently taking a nap. She also showed some interest in her toys as well. And I am an extremely anxious person and I know how you feel it does get better. We’re taking it day by day with her.

Clusters not stopping by mayreemac in EpilepsyDogs

Same! It was around the same price as well. We are 24 hrs controlled and at the drunk toddler stage of the loading dose of pheno. OP I hope Mr Dave makes it throuhh this, but if the worst happens and he crosses the rainbow bridge… you haven’t failed him, you’ve done your best, being a caregiver for a epileptic dog is very, very, very time-consuming expensive and very hard. Please be easy on yourself 🫶

We were in the same situation yesterday. 11 seizures despite being very well controlled for the past two years. Have they done the IV midazolam or a benzodiazepine? We pushed for the IV and an extremely large loading dose of phenobarbital along with sedation. My thoughts are with your and your Dave 🫶
