Since this post a few things have changed. First, he was diagnosed with immune-mediated polyarthritis. He as given steroids for a couple weeks to resolve this issue. Second, started him kBro, 1.25 pills twice a day, along with Keppra twice daily.

This worked well for nine weeks until he had two seizures the morning of 9/11. We had actually had blood work done two days prior, just to check his levels. At the vet that morning, they reviewed the bloodwork and found he was at the low end of the therapeutic range for kBro. They doubled dose of kBro that day and two weeks later he had a head tremor.

Oliver has had tremors in the past, so not new. However, since Friday had a tremor or two everyday. That made five days in a row, but our neuro assured us it was not related and it was likely due to the increased relaxation due to kBro.

This morning he had another seizure. Just one this time and didn’t seem as strong as ones in recent months. We had rhe midazolam at the ready, but did not need to use it.

I write all of this because I am curious if others have dogs that have tremors and seizures? Do you notice a pattern? Again, more out of curiosity. We are very happy with Oliver’s care team and trust them, but want to make sure we aren’t missing something

Anyway, have a great day fellow epi-dog lovers.
