You should contact your vet to confirm the directions as we at Boop by Petco are not able to prescribe or alter medications for pets not under our direct care. Levetiracetam is fast acting and effective quite quickly and epirepress is slow to leave the system so it is often possible to change over relatively quickly, monitoring closely for any neurologic signs

Keppra is used to treat seizures so you could talk to your vet about trying it or a different anti-seizure medication. You could also have your dog evaluated by a neurologist if your vet is not able to get his seizures under control. A neurologist may be able to find the best medication and/or combination of medications to help your dog.

My dog Yogi is 8.5 years old and has been on phenobarbital 32.4mg and potassium bromide 1mg for 6 years to control his epilepsy. He has his liver levels tested every 6 months and we just got the results back that his liver is suffering as a result of
Hello, & thank you for using Boop by Petco. Keppra is an excellent anti-seizure medication used extensively in human & veterinary medicine. The advantage to keppra over phenobarb, is the keppra is metabolized unchanged by the body, thus the liver does not ever see it.. Therefore, it is an excellent drug when the liver has become compromised by the phenobarb. Not every dog needs to be switched, but when they are, the seizures are very well controlled. Hope this helps.

my dog is having seizures usually when he gets excited or when he barks and if he bangs his head he is on levetiracetam about a month now and i feel like he is less lively is sluggish like he is in pain with the medicine and is walking very slowly an
Some people do notice lethargy and difficulty walking with levetiracetam, but in general these side effects improve after a few days to weeks. If Milo's seizures started recently I would also worry that the lethargy and trouble with balance could be signs of neurologic disease. Seizures in an older dog are most commonly related to a lesion in the brain such as a tumor. I would recommend rechecking with your veterinarian to have Milo examined - you may want to discuss additional tests like an MRI to determine a cause for the seizures or discuss alternative anti convulsants.
