Oddly specific question, but has anyone here had or known of someone who had an epileptic pet? If so, could you help me understand some stuff? (lemmy.ml)

I had a dog who developed seizures. Low dose phenobarbital solved the issue thankfully. It was a little inconvenient because he required regular liver tests and also, phenobarbital being a controlled substance, I had to buy it at a regular pharmacy. But other than that it was fine, much better than the seizures. He had no issues until he died (years later) of unrelated problems stemming from old age.
