Hi! My dog's name is Milo. He's a Griffon; 3 years old. He began to experience seizures in the past 2 years. I had him examined and vet concluded he is epileptic. The vet prescribed Sodium valproate, but Milo kept having seizures every two to three
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.

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

My Labrador retriever has sever epilepsy, and I can't afford a vet visit for the medication whats can I do?
I'm very sorry to hear that your dog has epilepsy! If he has severe or frequent seizures, then he definitely does need to be on prescription medication to help control them. Legally, we cannot prescribe medication for any pet without first doing an in-person exam, so this is not something that can be done over the internet. So I'm afraid there's really no alternative except to take him to a veterinarian in your area to be seen, so he can be started on medication to help control the seizures. There is no reason that this should need to be a particularly expensive visit - most vets are very willing to work within the budget you have, as long as you let them know that you have financial constraints. If you don't think you can afford even the cost of the office visit +/- some basic lab work (which may be recommended prior to starting on meds), you could try calling your local shelter or humane society to see if they have any resources available to help pet owners in your position.

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.

Hi so ceaser was back at the vets today His epilepsy pills are not working his fits have returned with a vengence. He now has a urinary tract and bowel infection and is on antibiotics. The vet is baffled as to why his pills have stopped working.
Thanks for using Boop by Petco! I do not think that you are being selfish at all. You care about him which is good. It is common for dogs with epilepsy to eventually need more medications added to their anti-seizure medication protocols. There are several anti-seizure medications that can be considered including phenobarbital, potassium bromide, Keppra, zonisamide, among many others. I would encourage you to discuss with your veterinarian about other anti-seizure medications. Often times dogs with epilepsy respond favorably to other medications. Good luck and have a great day!
