Hi
First posting here, as my dog is usually happy, well-balanced and fine, except for her epilepsy. Began 3 years ago but seizures have been quite far apart until a couple of months ago, when they went through another change in pattern (about the 3rd or 4th change since she started having them) and became longer, more frequent (3 in 2 months) and taking longer for her to come out. She's now started on Epiphen - just over a week. But it's awful - she has no energy (she's a border collie, 5 years old), she keeps falling over cos her back legs are wobbly, she wants to play but won't chase the ball (I guess because she's tired/wobbly legs), she's drinking all the time.
We're due back at the vet's next week. Does anyone know if this is going to settle down and she'll get back to normal, or closer to normal, or is this a long-term change? I feel that we've taken away her joy in living and are making her into a zombie dog. It's horrible.
TIA x
