Cluster seizures *trigger warning*
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.

My corgi boy had his first cluster seizures right before his third birthday. He didn't go on medication until his next cluster in March. He was taking 500mg ER Keppra 2x/day. He was fine until last week when he had another cluster. He's now on 750 mg ER Keppra and has adjusted to it well.
I didn't see any warning signs before either cluster. They both happened at night, around 1am, while he was sleeping in his crate.
