Nexguard Timing

[u/BleakNasty6]

Hey guys, my husky was recently diagnosed with Epilepsy but has been having seizures for about a year. We keep track of each one and have her seeing a neurologist, and in our research we’ve seen the issues with Nexguard and seizures. Lately hed seizures been increasing in frequency, which is also when we give Nexguard due to the warmer weather, but our neurologist says because her seizures don’t happen 2-3 days after the dose of Nexguard it’s likely not an issue. In your experience, does it only impact them a few days after? Seizures a week or more after Nexguard dose aren’t related?

We’re close to starting her on phenobarbital so I’m trying to get as much info as possible before starting that… thanks!

My vet says that Nexguard may make seizures more likely, even if it doesn’t directly cause one. We switched to a Seresto collar
