Some one posted this on Facebook and I downloaded and took a look at it.

 

RVC - Pet Epilepsy Tracker

http://www.rvc.ac.uk/news-and-events/press-office/rvc-creates-a-dog-epilepsy-smart-phone-app-to-help-manage-mans-best-friend-s-fits

 

It originated in the UK, and some of the language (and spelling) is UK-specific, but it doesn't affect the overall usefulness of the app. It has easy to understand, well-organized, up-to-date information about different types of seizures and treatment options - with descriptions and general plans to help you make decisions. The medication lists were very comprehensive and included off-label uses for un-tested human meds.

 

There is also a tab for logging/recording seizure activity, along with medications given and follow-up info. It includes a contacts list to store all those vet names and numbers, and a tab for meds and dosages. There is also a way to share logs and info with your vet easily, and to add your dog's info to the volume of research at the Royal Vet Society. It's nice to have all this in one place, so you're not using a calendar, a diary, a seizure log, and a meds list all in separate places.

 

It was easy to figure out how to use it from the get-go with intuitive buttons and reminders. I would definitely use this if I had a seizure dog.

That sounds like a good app, Pru's not had a seizure in a while as far as I know but can imagine its very useful if its fairly frequent.

Thanks for the info. I've sent it to my nephew, whose beagle recently had a seizure.
