One Year Seizure Free

てんかんもちのライチですが、年取ってきたせいか、最近はすっかり症状が落ち着いて、なんと最後の発作からもう1年もたっていました。
12歳だけど、いまだにハイパーです。

Our little one has been on medication for epileptic seizure for the past 7 years. Maybe because her metabolism and brain activity is slowing down from aging, she has been doing pretty well and she is now 1 year seizure free.

For a while, she was taking 1.5 pills of 1/4 grain phenobarbital and 1 pill of 125mg potassium bromide twice a day. We went down the phenobarb to 1.25 pills twice a day, and now she gets 1 pill twice a day (plus K bromide).

She gets tired easily now that she's 12 years old (assuming she was about a year old when we took her in), but when she's up and running, she is still the same "forever puppy."
I try to prepare myself for her death that will come in the very near future. I just hope that I will be there when she crosses the rainbow and that she won't die while she is having a seizure.
Ah, dogs.
