Medications

After our consult with Dr Moira Drosdevich in Kelowna, Zinnia is on a few different herbal and holistic medications including:

Super EFF (essential fatty acids)

Lepsilyte- to reduce severity and frequency of seizures

DMG- antioxidant

Taurine- anticonvulsant

She was on Belladonna for the first 10 days.  Although this combination of meds hasn't stopped her seizures, it has certainly decreased the frequency and the intensity of them.  I do indeed have to call them seizures now as it appears that is what they indeed are :(

Onward and upward!  I am fairly convinced that we can at least improve her quality of life and reduce her episodes.

She is an otherwise healthy, normal, playful, snuggly young Toller puppy and will eventually be looking for a home of her own.
