Hi All!
We have a 2 yr old MN chunk of love named Bugsy, who has been diagnosed with seizure disorder. The seizures started approx 1-3 months apart but since then have increased in frequency. Our vet ( who I work for also) started him on Zonisemide, which helped briefly i guess. April was a bad month for this poor dog, seizuring way more than once a month and even having some partials. Dr then added in Potassium Bromide and we added in 30mg of CBD treats to try to get this boy under control. Everything seemed to have been going fine, no seizure for 4 weeks! Until this past weekend when he had a seizure on the 21st and a partial seizure just this AM. I'm wondering if maybe the cleaning products i used to clean my shower ( he was not in the bathroom with me, but in the vicinity) or what i used to mop my floor could be a trigger for him? My vet is knowledgeable, although bulldogs are not is specialty, and we are not comfortable with just throwing in more medication. We would like to get this under control, whether it's a different medication or diet change whatever.. ANYTHING to stop this boy from having seizures... so I thought i would ask some people who have this breed and are familiar. Anybody out there have similar experience? Would a raw diet benefit him?
