Help needed for Sheppard Diagnosed with epilepsy on meds

Wednesday, November 21st, 2007

My 1 year old german shepherd is suffering from severe seizures. He has been diagnosed with epilepsy and is on medication. I have also been in touch with the breeder who recommended some homepathic remedies to help and urged me to find a homeopathic vet in my area. So far I have had no luck with that but I am still looking. His seizures began after he got vaccinated and started heartworm medication. Any connection?

I’d like to wean him off his medication if possible. Please help. Thank You

Dog with idiopathic seizures. Drug side effects severe. Any alternatives?

Tuesday, September 11th, 2007

My dog has been diagnosed with having idiopathic seizures. The Vet didn’t feel at the time of diagnosis that a medication regime was necessary however the seizures are more frequent and the side effects from the drugs are severe.

Is there any way of helping my dog with other treatments? I am worried!

Thanks.
