Questions on seizure recovery after a period of a 40 minute seizure. I reduced the Potassium Bromide Levels in my dog from 5ml daily to 1ml daily. My dog was also on Keppra 750mg BID. However, the KBr casued him to gain considerable weight so we decided to reduce the KBr, and keep the dog solely on Keppra--what a mistake! The dog went into Status Epilepticus; a constant seizure for over 40 minutes (thought that the dog was going to die). Nine days in Critical Care, and now the dog is taking; not only three times as much Keppra than he originally took, but the neuorlogist also added Felbemate three times daily. The dog also got pneumonia while in the hospital. Whatever you do, make sure you consult the veternarian with any dosage or medication changes; otherwise you might have a nightmare as I did. The dog has been home 40 hours from the hospital, but all the seizures took alot out of him. Has anyone experienced a similar situation and what is your advice? The Clug
