Wonder Posted October 19, 2012 Share Posted October 19, 2012 Thunder (2.5 yrs old) started phenobard Sept 26th and I've noticed he's become very hyper. I mentioned it to my vet (who is not thunder's vet, he has an appt in 2 weeks with his vet) and he said he's never heard of a hound getting hyper on it. So anyone with a younger hound notice them becoming hyper? He's also very vocal and with Passion on pheno as well, my house is pretty loud some times I just mentioned the hyperness to someone on a FB group that I'm in. She said when she was on pheno as a kid, she got super hyper Quote Kari and the pups.Run free sweet Hana 9/21/08-9/12/10.

heartdogs Posted October 19, 2012 Share Posted October 19, 2012 Yes, Noelle was hyper at first & now after a seizure she is very restless the next day. She did calm down as her body got use to PB. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheFullHouse Posted October 19, 2012 Share Posted October 19, 2012 It may be the weather too Kari. My normally sedate bunch is absolutely nuts because of the cooler weather, especially Bandita. They need to go out and run in the back yard a couple of times a day. It may be a combination of the two. He should settle down in a couple of weeks. Most side effects of phono subside with time. In the mean time, maybe more adult beverages would be in order, for you of course.

RaineysMom Posted October 19, 2012 Share Posted October 19, 2012 I'm guessing that just like with humans, meds affect each differently sometimes. I can't say Rainey was hyper, like bouncing off the walls, but she was very vocal and got increasingly agitated as time went on, but that was most likely from the dementia. I just about went bonkers with Rainey whining, I can't imagine two Quote Kim and Bruce - with Rick (Rick Roufus 6/30/16) and missing my sweet greyhound Angels Rainey (LG's Rainey 10/4/2000 - 3/8/2011), Anubis (RJ's Saint Nick 12/25/2001 - 9/12/12) and Zeke (Hey Who Whiz It 4/6/2009 - 7/20/2020) and Larry (PTL Laroach 2/24/2007 - 8/2/2020) -- and Chester (Lab) (8/31/1990 - 5/3/2005), Captain (Schipperke) (10/12/1992 - 6/13/2005) and Remy (GSP) (?/?/1998 - 1/6/2005) at the bridge"Always do sober what you said you'd do drunk.

Wonder Posted October 19, 2012 Author Share Posted October 19, 2012 (edited) I'm guessing that just like with humans, meds affect each differently sometimes. I can't say Rainey was hyper, like bouncing off the walls, but she was very vocal and got increasingly agitated as time went on, but that was most likely from the dementia. I just about went bonkers with Rainey whining, I can't imagine two Yep and Rainey was older, like Passion is so I didn't think they would get hyper.Passion has plenty of other side effects from the pheno so I'm glad hyper isn't one more on the list It may be the weather too Kari.

It could be the weather but then I'd think all the hounds would be acting crazy but they realy aren't.I need to try to get a video of it. It's so funny. His legs are going all different directions as he races around the yard and he's not 100% steady either. Pretty funny to watch. Passion side effects did get better but her "talking" didn't go away course she did that before the pheno Edited October 19, 2012 by Wonder Quote Kari and the pups.Run free sweet Hana 9/21/08-9/12/10.

hikinghounds Posted October 19, 2012 Share Posted October 19, 2012 Yes, when Zephyr started phenobarbital and later when he switched to Keppra he was very hyper for at least 3 days, maybe a week, after starting each. He was about 4.5 years old then. He settled down though and now he just has his normal hyper moments. :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
