Navya,

You might want to look into a supplement called Vetri-Science Cell Advance 880. From the reviews I've read, this has ended the seizures in many of the reviewer's dogs.

Also, if you dog is on phenobarbital, you must protect your dog's liver by giving it something like milk thistle, otherwise the phenobarbitol will destroy it's liver. This happened to a friend's dog who was not aware of the dangerous side effects of this med and the dog died from liver failure.

Navya , my dog suffered with seizures about four or five days a week, I gave her a zinc tablet once a day. She went down to having 2 in a year and they were very mild. Hope this helps

Hello Navya

I have two Boston Terriers who have seizures and I refuse to give my dogs phenobarbital, so here's what I giving them;

Doc Ackerman's Epilepsy Seizure Formula, 100 mg magnesium (as citrate and malate) 1/8 teaspoon taurine powder, 1/8 teaspoon chlorella powder and 1/4 teaspoon liquid B vitamin complex. At night I give my girl a few drops of Bach's Rescue Remedy, my boy doesn't seem to need the BRR. I haven't had them on this for long but we've just made it through the first new moon seizure free in quite some time. Nor have they had any of the occasional between moon phase seizures they sometimes have.

Andrea, What I did with my dog being a half kelpie border collie - I gave her half adult dose once a day in her evening meal and she went from 4 or 5 a week to about 2 per year and they were very mild. But it is not a over night cure she got better and better. I kept her on this all her life.
