Melatonin And Seizure Dogs


Recommended Posts

I recently posted about Henry's seizure meds working tremendously. We are going on three months without any seizures! The weird thing is, he seems to have much more energy than before. Now, he's having problems sleeping through the night. He gets up and plays with toys. Most times, he gets Truman up too and it's a free for all at 3AM. I plan on discussing this with my vet first, but I'm just wondering if anyone has insight on seizure dogs and melatonin. It might also help with Hen's bald butt and belly.

When I remember to give Passion melatonin, she sleeps the whole night. She was waking me up 3-4am after she started taking phenobarb. She's been on phenobarb since the end of June and doesn't wake me up anymore otherwise I'd still be giving melatonin to her.

Can also help with nightime seizures so prob not a bad idea (I know he's not having them at night but wouldn't hurt to give it)
