Zonisamide Dog Medicine and Prescriptions

My dog started having seizures back in May. She since has been put on zonisamide twice a day to control her seizures. She went 6 weeks without having one since she was first put on zonisamide and had 3 today. Thinking she may have epilepsy. Would epilepsy prevail over the zonisamide? The vet sent her home with instructions to up her dosage of zonisamide. She is also diabetic and takes insulin but her levels were normal after the seizures. Any input?

If I accidentally give my dog double dose of zonisamide will it hurt him? He is 10lbs and takes 10mg twice a day. 13!years oldz

My dog takes 750mg Keppra and 400mg zonisamide twice a day. Tonight she got her pills twice by accident 90 minutes apart. She seems fine but is this serious?

I do not know if my dog got his second dose of Zonisamide. He takes three 100 mg pills twice a day and 61 lbs. He did get his am dose, not sure on the pm dose.

9yr pitmix started having seizures on Feb 27th vet said blood and x-rays were good. Seized again 28th, gives zonisamide, total of 13 seizures until March 2nd. Not 1 seizure since. Had complete amnesia March 2-7.. Now she has squinty red eyes, tilts & shakes head, paws at eyes, and ears, lack energy, appetite, wobbly sometimes. Is this Allergies, ear infection, side effects of meds?

Our dog is 7 and has cluster seizures for three years. They come every month. She is on zonisimide, keppra, and potassium bromide. Nothing seems to stop them from coming. Is incontinenence a precursor to a seizure

Dog is having cluster seizures,he takes phenoleptil,libromide and levitraceum but they dont seem to be controlling them.

Hi! I think one of my dogs may have eaten some of my other dogs drugs. He polished off her food that she left unbeknownst this me. She is on 200 mg of zonisimide, 100 mg of minocycline, 500 mg of niacinamide, and 50 mg of carprofen per meal (2x/day). She is a 75lb lab. He is 65lbs and could have ingested any combination of those drugs. He is now acting a bit nauseated which I’m attributing to the minocycline... I’m mostly concerned about the zonisimide considering he doesn’t experience seizures.

Is there anything cheaper than potassium bromide? My 15 month Papillon is on that and Keppra. Non of which seems to be working as she has cluster seizures every day. Keppra 125 mg x2 and 0.4ml bromide. The bromide costs £131 for four weeks! The bottle holds 250 ml so most of it has to be thrown away. She was on epiphen but has had to come off it because of her liver.

My dog was put on pheno after 1 episode, dont know if i would call it a seizure. She has slight brain damage where she stands and dodders every now and then but no more "episodes". She has been on pheno since january. Her dose was 2 tabs 2 a day but her ataxia was severe so it was halved and now she is on a qurter 2 a day. I would like her off them as she is 14 and a half and i dont think i have that much more time with her, i would rather have her whole again for as long as i can.
