Penny Pooh UPDATE!!!!

[apbtmom76]

WOO HOO! So today the 24th, Penny is 8 weeks seizure free. I have not said anything lately as it seems everytime I did she would have one and they were coming a lot closer, so my vet said if she goes 2 months he wants to see about weaning her off the Pheno and upping the KBr (Potassium Bromide) which is much better for her liver, her last bloodwork showed that her kidneys and liver were functioning properly but prolonged exposure to the Pheno can shut her liver and kidneys down. SO wish us luck on the med change.

I just wanted to share my good news, this is a big thing that Penny and I are about to do, I am keeping fingers crossed we stay seizure free.

Wow - that's great news. Here's hoping that she can continue to be seizure free with the change in meds.

Keep up the good work Penny Pooh. {{{HUHS}}} for you and Mom!

I am so happy to hear this! Good luck, paws and fingers crossed for Penny to stay seizure free!

I don't know if humans are the same, but my brother used to have a lot of seizures as a child (due to a bleed in the brain). He was able to lower his dosages when he was seizure free and is now completely off medicine and hasn't had a seizure in over 15 years! Not sure if it's the same but there is always hope.

Kisses for beautiful Penny.
