(1,850 posts)The attacks didn't occur during the seizures. The dog had two in one night, and we took her to the vet the very first thing the next morning, and she was put on phenobarbital right away, and hasn't had a seizure since. the phenobarbital turned her into a zombie for several weeks. In fact, I was ready to take her to a different vet because I thought she was seriously overmedicated, but even the pharmacist said she would adjust over time--and she has. But, I have wondered if the attacks were not because of the seizures but because of the zombie-ness, instead.
I don't think I can post OPs yet because I'm too new. Soon as I can figure it out I will post some dog pix. The one I wanted to post shows the lab lying on the couch with the pit sitting on her to be able to look out the window!
I will let the shelter manager know as soon as I can.
