Guest anneh Posted October 27, 2007 Share Posted October 27, 2007 Watch out, this food is preserved with rosemary which would normally be a good thing but for epileptics rosemary herb and aromatherapy oil (and sage/hyssop/pine) should be avoided. If you go to the epilepsy sites that others have posted here they should give you good info on diet anneh I found this food: http://www.purelypets.com/cgi-local/shop.p...triverranch.htm and then supplement with 2 avocado snacks a day perhaps?

So much good info I am getting here! I gotta pick up a little journal just for Henry. For both documenting all seizures, treatments, and things I learn along the way. (I used a calender with Alfalfa, his epilepsy was much milder) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest houndstooth4 Posted October 27, 2007 Share Posted October 27, 2007 Our greyhound, Treat has epilepsy. She's ten years old now, and she started having seizures a week before her fourth birthday. She was having severe grand mal seizures. We tried KBr first, but it didn't work for her, so we switched to phenobarbitol. She hasn't had a seizure since. We feed her regular Iams food, just like the other three greys eat. She is a registered therapy dog, and she does nursing home and READ visits. She loves going places, anywhere that she can be adored! She leads a busy and happy life, and the epilepsy doesn't seem to have slowed her down one bit. She's one of the most active ten year old greys you'll meet! I wish you and Henry lots of good luck. Just remember that it takes a while to get the medicine levels adjusted, so be patient while you go through that process. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
