Yes, I have seen and read it daily for the last week.

We had another episode Friday, Aug 20. My husband was enroute picking up our phenobarbital when they occurred. We gave her a loading dose of 2000 mg crushed diluted with warm water( per the vets advice) orally. She has been seizure free since. She is dosed twice daily in her grain and at least her injuries are healing. We are on pins and needles just waiting. I have contacted the Arab associations to see if they have any info on this, but nothing. The only info we have see is the article on juvenile epilepsy.
