Our 3.5 year old groodle started having seizures that got him admitted twice, which is quite costly and on discharge he ends up getting topped up with meds that make him groggy and he has behaviour changes. We feel he does not like the meds and we don't either!
In my desperation I searched google for an Australian-based herbal remedy and I found this Epilepsy Mix. We're also using the Episodic Mix.
He is also now on Keppra. Supposed to be 750mg 3x a day and we found he is drowsy and has dry retching. Just not our beautiful dog anymore. We decided to decrease the dose and give epilepsy mix 2x a day. He continued to have grand mal and sometimes focal/partial seizures at least once a week. It did not decrease the frequency.
Prior to all meds and herbal mix we changed his diet to keto diet, gave him MCT and hemp oils. We continued with this diet plus Keppra plus epilepsy mix/episodic mix.
Anyone with a pet who has seizures would know that it is quite stressful. I gave 5 star rating to this product because we think it has prevented our dog's admission to vet hospital. He was admitted before because he had 5 lots of grand mal seizures in less than 24 hrs and he could not recover from it, he was too weak even to walk.
It's now almost 2 months since his last admission (he has been having seizures for 6 months). We are grateful there are good quality products like this in Australia!
We will continue to use Epilepsy mix and Episodic mix.
We are always open to any suggestions. Thank you McDowells!
