I wanted to provide you an update, since it has now been two months since our last order.
Austin, the eight year old male neutered Golden Retriever with epilepsy, has been successfully weaned off Potassium Bromide and is on standard dosage of Epileptic mix and Maritime Bark Extract. At your suggestion, I reduced the Potassium Bromide over a two week period. A few days after that, Austin began to display precursors of an epileptic attack (head pain, anxiety, and restlessness). I added Epileptic Episodic mix to his regimen. The symptoms disappeared after three or four days without Austin experiencing a seizure (that we know of), and I stopped administering Epilepsy Episodic mix three days after that. Since then, Austin has been indication-free. Furthermore, his energy and spirit levels have increased dramatically, now that the Potassium Bromide has been eliminated from his system. As with Shasta, he received an excellect checkup from the veteranarian. In fact, the vet was pleased that we have found an alternative treatment for his epilepsy.
In retrospect, the only thing I may do differently would be to wean Austin off Potassium Bromide over a three week period, instead of two. However, this will surely vary from dog to dog.
Again, thank you for your products and support. We are very pleased on all accounts.
Best regards,
Gary
