WE HAVE HAD HER TO SEVERAL VETS, LAST TIME WAS AT UNIVERSITY OF TENN VET HOSPITAL WHERE SHE WAS DIAGNOSED. SHE WAS PUT ON ZONISAMIDE 50MG TWICE A DAY. SHE HAS BEEN ON THIS FOR A WEEK AND A HALF AND WE CAN TELL NO DIFFERENCE IN THE HEAD BOBBIN. SHE ALSO IS NOT EATING ARE WE EXPECTING TOO MUCH TO SOON? WILL HER APPETITE COME BACK. I HAVE BEEN BACK IN TOUCH WITH HER REGULAR VET WHO SENT US TO UT AND SHE WANTS TO GET IN TOUCH WITH UT WITH SOME QUESTIONS.
She is not on permenant medicine yet, they want to wait until she is at least 6 months old,but when she has seziures we have to give her medicine to treat her and the same thing happens to her, her head bobs the whole next day. The vet told us that it is the side effects of the medicine. Let me know if you find anything else out. I will be praying for your dog.
How long do these usually last before the dog gets used to the medication? I'm hoping that these are not signs that something else is wrong, though I am aware of the possibilities.
I take them at night so I sleep through the initial sedation. And I do do my part. I exercise, I do yoga, I don't drink or use drugs, I go to therapy, I keep to my sleep schedule, I take my meds, I make my appts, I am educated on my disorder, I have insight into my cycles and monitor my moods.
