Our beagle/shepherd/mutt Vega started having seizures about 5 yrs ago. Always had grand mal 2-3 months apart. Had a cluster about a yr ago that lasted a whole weekend:( Put him on pheno after that. He's had 1 grand mal and other mild seizure activity since then. He has gained about 6 lbs. He recently(last few days) has started acting kinda manic though and I'm wondering if this is seizure activity.(see my post in behavior section).
My first Giant started having seizures at 1.5 yrs of age. It was heartbreaking to have a young dog diagnosed with epilepsy. She was on Phenobarb and Potassium Bromide. I don't remember the dosage as it was 8 yrs ago.
As others have said the side effects of the meds can be worse than the seizures. The KBr did a number on her already dysplastic hips.
Every dog is different. Your dog may not have any more seizures.
I wish you the best with Cody.
