I'm discouraged, We adopted him knowing he had them, but the shelter said he was well controlled on meds and not having any. 1gram Phenobarb twice a day and he's soo groggy my husband has to practically carry him out to go potty. And he has seizures regularly at night. We maxed out on the allowed extra pills per the prescription- he is either snowed to the hilt or seizing. The pills are given12 hrs apart, with 1 or 2 extra if he has a seizure. I'm at a loss, and hubby is scared he is going to not wake up from an episode or we will accidentally overdose him.
I'm very frustrated that it appears the shelter was not quite up front about the number and severity of seizures- then again the dog only seizes during night when there is no one at the shelter to witness them.
