my dog has been diagnosed with epilepsy and requires 4 phenobarbital 60 mg a day for the rest of his life, i have been to my local pharmasist who can supply me with a months supply for just over £5 as long as my vet gives me a prescription he will give me a prescription for epiphen which is exactly the same exept it is the canine version and will cost me about £20 a month , we do love our dog dearly and would appreciate advise from anyone in a similar situation ,unfortunetly we did not have our dog insured and would find it difficult to meet the vet bills and medication.
