On Target's A Wing and A Prayer AKC DN29500501
Source of information: Lynn Brodie (owner)
Age of Onset: 3.5 years Diagnostics: Full blood panel. Tick panel. All normal. Neurological evaluation - normal. Neurologist felt due to age of dog, MRI and spinal would be negative. Diagnosed ideopathic epilepsy by both neurologist and regular veterinarian. |
Disease Progression: First seizure, age 3.5 (June, 2014). Grand mal seizure during sleep. Another seizure a week later. Began low dose of phenobarbital. 2 months seizure free then began additional grand mal seizures. Pheno increased. KBr (potassium bromide) added. Seizures became well controlled. Med adjustments noted in med section.
Update October 2016: Wing has been seizure free since May, 2015, still on a low pheno and KBr combo. She has been able to continue in agility, earned her AKC MACH title and lives a normal, active happy life with few side effects. Update June 2022: . Wing was seizure free for 6 years on low dose pheno and KBr. She earned two MACHs in agility during this time. Wing began seizing again at the age of 9. We increased pheno, then KBr, then added Keppra. Seizures slowed but quality of life deteriorated significantly. I stopped the keppra and hind end weakness improved substantially. Interestingly enough, seizures have become very infrequent and are of short duration. She is now 11.5. Quality of life is everything so I will not add to her meds but will keep her happy and enjoying life until it is no longer possible. Treatment: June, 2014 - 32.4 mg Pheno twice a day. August, 2014 - pheno increased to 48.6 mg twice a day October, 2014 - KBr added. 3mls once a day. Pheno reduced March, 2015. Well controlled on 32.4 mg pheno twice a day & 325 mg KBr once a day |
