Hi

One of my collies, Kenny, has had severe epliepsy for three years now. Unforunatly he cluster fits which means he will have several siezure one after the other without coming out of them. We have vallium which we have to give him to get him out of the fit but it does not always work so that means of a trip to the vets and normally an overnight stay. At the moment he is on 300mg of epiphen and 120 potassium a day which is presently costing about 50.00 a month. Although Kenny is insured it is not lifetime cover so after the first 12 months we had to start paying. It is not a nice thing to see when your dog fits and I understand exactly how you must be feeling.

Most dogs will fit and come out of it, years ago we had a shepherd that fitted and she never had any medication. Kenny went for twelve months on a very low dosage before he got worse and alot of dogs may never need to have their medication increased so hopefully your dog will be fine the dosage he is on now.
