I was hoping Diana would see this thread and post. I'm glad your vet isn't just going to immediately put him on the Phenobarb. Who knows it could be several months before he has another one (I'm hoping this is the case for you). And like Diana said, the side effects of drugs can be worse than occasional seizures. I was very glad Zoee didn't have to be on it. BUT if they get worse then I will do whatever it takes for her.

I will be hoping Cody does not have any more clusters or even single seizures. I know, first hand, how scary they are. I also did as Diana said, just sat with her and pet her. Although, she would try to climb into my skin. She'd probably climb up on top of my head if I let her.

Maybe you could ask your vet for Valium just in case??
