Seizures on a shoestring

Thank you for the great explanation

I used to be scared of neurology because I found my teacher in uni to be very confusing, but watching your videos and also your presentations at the ISFM Congress have made me feel more confident! Thank you very much!

thank you - this means so much to me - to know that these videos make a difference and fulfil their purpose which is a free learning resource for veterinary professionals providing practical neurological knowledge.

Such a helpful and interesting video! Do you think that dogs with idiopathic epilepsy who used to have seizures no more frequently than once a month and who have now put on excessive weight due to Phenobarbital should be switched to Imepitoin? A lot of vets who put epileptic dogs on Phenobarbital don't ever bother monitoring their blood or checking their livers, so maybe it would be a safer option too in that case?

Phenobarbital is more effective than imepitoin and there is a huge risk in switching a stable dog Having (sadly) seem a lot of cases where it went badly wrong I would not undertake such a switch lightly. However I would try a dog that was having seizures less frequently than every 2 weeks on Imepitoin as a first line therapy (ie before phenobarbital) I am so glad that you found the video helpful
