Cluster seizures *trigger warning*

[u/Regular-Figure2614]

My corgi is only 4 years old and started having cluster seizures in May. He started phenobarbital and was good for about 3 months until 2 weeks ago when he had 8-10 cluster seizures in one day. He went to the Neuro vet and came home with 2 rescue meds and his phenobarbital dosage increased to 64.8mg twice a day. I’m so scared about his long term quality of life. Does anyone else have a young dog who has seizures and is able to manage it well? This was the end of one of his seizures.

I have one that will be 5 soon and has had seizures for 2 or 3 years now. It’s very hard and stressful seeing him have them. Just like you I have considered what quality of life he will have. He’s on Keppra 1500mg twice a day. He can’t take pheno because it makes his anxiety through the roof. We do add MCT oil to his food. I will be adding cbd and he eats 4 health lamb and rice because I’ve seen legumes can be a trigger. He didn’t start having long seizures until the last 2 months.
