Lowering the PB other changes.

My husband spoke to the vet this afternoon. He called to ask about us giving Topaz taurine. I've been told and have read online that it has some success controlling seizures. We're not replacing his meds with this by any means, but adding this along with the meds.

When I had spoken with the vet last month I asked about lowering Topaz's dose of something. Not that I think he's on such huge doses, but because he's so out of it and spacey and I hate seeing him that way all the time. She agreed that if he made it 60 days seizure free we could lower the PB by 1/4 of a pill...so give him one and 1/4 pill twice daily rather than 1 1/2 pill.

She said we could start the lowered dose tomorrow. My husband also asked her about the time we give Topaz the Kbr. I was wondering if we could give it to him at night rather than in the morning because it kind of makes him loopy and sleepy...then he could sleep it off at night.

This will change the way we feed them as well. I'll have to think about it all and figure out how to do it as the Kbr is a liquid and he's not that into the yucky flavor!

We're also going ahead with the Taurine. We'll be doing 2000 mg for a week and then 1000 mg daily after that. It will be mixed with his food also.

Hopefully, this will help and we can get our fun loving energetic puppa back!

Will update as needed!
