Very important I know but Alfie was more than just a bag of symptoms and a recipient of drugs
If your dog has experienced a fit or seizure type episode he needs to be taken to a vet for all the appropriate checks. For better clinical advice on these matters check out

Alfie ended his days on
Phenobarbital (Epiphen) given as follows 180mg AM, 120mg lunchtime, 180mg PM
Potassium Bromide (Epilease) 1000mg at lunchtime sprinkled on his lunch
Levetiracetam (Keppra) 500mg three times a day
As a last resort we also added diazapam
Sadly they made no difference to him in the end. But they did allow us to have four wonderful years with him.
REMEMBER THAT ALFIE'S DIAGNOSIS WAS CANINE PHARMACORESISTANT EPILEPSY the majority of epileptic dogs are easily controlled through a moderate level of traditional drugs.
