Wonder Posted October 31, 2012 Share Posted October 31, 2012 Thunder started phenobarb Sept 26th after having at least 10 seizures in less than 24 hours. He'd already been on zonisamide for 5 weeks. Test results on 9/26 showed the zonisamide was in therapeutic levels so it just wasn't working to control the seizures. I took him in yesterday for his 30 day check up. Got the results this morning Phenobarb level is 23 Glucose 97 ALT 43 Alk.Ptase 62 Albumin 2.9 Urea N 24 Creatinine 2.1 I also had a full thyroid panel sent off to MSU. Results will be a few weeks. I am really hoping the phenobarb controls his seizures. I think the neuro vet will wean him off zonisamide now. Because I always take pictures, here's some from the vet yesterday On the way to the vet Waiting for the tech to come back with more cookies.
