Thanks for using Boop by Petco! I do not think that you are being selfish at all. You care about him which is good. It is common for dogs with epilepsy to eventually need more medications added to their anti-seizure medication protocols. There are several anti-seizure medications that can be considered including phenobarbital, potassium bromide, Keppra, zonisamide, among many others. I would encourage you to discuss with your veterinarian about other anti-seizure medications. Often times dogs with epilepsy respond favorably to other medications. Good luck and have a great day!

Thank you for submitting your question regarding DeeDee. I am sorry to hear about the severity of her seizures. It does not sound like she is adequately controlled on her current medications. There is a prescription diet by Purina Proplan Veterinary Diets called Neurocare that may help. There are other anti-seizure drugs. I like a medication called zonisamide, but it may need to be specially formulated given her small size. You may want to consider seeing a neurologist if you have not done so already. Her ongoing care is unfortunately going to be expensive given her young age and the severity of her disease. I hope this information helps.

I'm very sorry to hear that your dog has epilepsy! If he has severe or frequent seizures, then he definitely does need to be on prescription medication to help control them. Legally, we cannot prescribe medication for any pet without first doing an in-person exam, so this is not something that can be done over the internet. So I'm afraid there's really no alternative except to take him to a veterinarian in your area to be seen, so he can be started on medication to help control the seizures. There is no reason that this should need to be a particularly expensive visit - most vets are very willing to work within the budget you have, as long as you let them know that you have financial constraints. If you don't think you can afford even the cost of the office visit +/- some basic lab work (which may be recommended prior to starting on meds), you could try calling your local shelter or humane society to see if they have any resources available to help pet owners in your position.

Thanks for using Boop by Petco! Yes, there are anti-seizure medications. Seizures can occur due to many reasons that go from a toxicity, metabolic diseases, inflammatory diseases and even tumors. I highly recommend that you have Buddy evaluated by a veterinarian as soon as possible for further assessment and treatment. Diagnostics that will be recommended will include bloodwork and advanced imaging such as an MRI. They would also be able to start him on anti-seizure medications to try to avoid the onset of more seizures. Good luck and have a good night! Hoping for a speedy recovery!

Hi there and thanks for using Boop by Petco! In addition to medication provided by your veterinarian, there is a special diet you can place Jig on that has been proven to help reduce the frequency of seizure activity in dogs. The food is called Purina Pro Plan Neurocare and may be available through your veterinarian. It can also be found through online retailers but does require a prescription from your veterinarian to obtain. I hope this helps and thanks again for posting!
