Guest Energy11 Posted July 8, 2009 Share Posted July 8, 2009 Curfew was having seizures, ... we don't know why (we THINK he MIGHT have a "presumed" brain tumor), b;ut without an MRI, we really don't know. Every since he started the phenobarbitol (97.2 mg twice a day), **his levels are FINALLY theraputic*** and, his high blood pressure meds, Enalapril 20 mg. twice a day, he has been GREAT! I DO keep a syringe (no needle) loaded with 10 mg of liquid Valium, which I can give trans-rectally if needed during a prolonged seizure. It works ALMOST as fast an an IV, as it is absorbed by the tissues, blood vessels in the rectum. You might want to mention trans-rectal Valium to your vet, to have, just in case. Good Luck, and yes, seizures can be controlled. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheFullHouse Posted July 8, 2009 Share Posted July 8, 2009 He should have his blood levels and liver enzymes checked every 6 months. It's a simple blood test and will give the vet all the info he needs to know. If you're worried about it affecting his liver, you can start him on Milk Thistle, this will protect his liver from the meds he has to take. It's so good to hear that he's doing so well!
