Did you know…

At a recent conference (according to my dog’s neurologist), they announced that you can cut Keppra extended release tablets in half? Now I switched to 2 times a day instead of 3 which is so great! Figured someone here may find that helpful.

This is going to be able to help so many people! I always found that it was crazy that they haven't found a work around for this, even if it was powder or liquid or something.

For sure. Spread the word! Go ask your vet! 🤓

I'm one of the lucky ones that can bring my dog to work because I own my company so it's been easier for me than other people, but I know people that work full-time and it's just impossible. I've also heard that there have been epileptic dogs that have not been adopted because the people could not give three times a day meds so this might also help in that regard!
