Hi there, just looking for some advice, hints tips etc on canine epilepsy.
Our 2yo BC has recently beeen diagnosed with epilepsy, and was put on pexion tabs to try and bring it under control. Since he started on this a fortnight ago, he has had 1 'cluster' (which he had never had before) and two other seizures which were fairly short and swift but distressing none the less-his fit last night he jumped up onto me and gave me a proper fright! Before he was put on the meds, he was having one fit every three weeks. We have an appointment with the vet this afternoon so they can check him over.
I do understand that it can take a while to get the dosing sorted and that frequency can also increase whilst everything is sorting itself out, but I really wanted to know if there were any other things we could be doing as well as the medication to try and help him out. dp has looked into putting him on a wheat free diet and we have been trying to keep him as calm as we can (he is as highly strung as they come unfortunately).
Would really appreciate any advice or experiences from any of you whose dogs have this horrible illness
TIA
