Summary

In this episode we begin to discuss the anti-seizure medications used for epilepsy in dogs and cats, starting with phenobarbital. Although this medication is the most effective anti-convulsant, it does require close monitoring on account of its adverse effects which in their early days can be reversible. We will discuss how to use this medication, how to monitor, and what to watch out for.

Understanding how these networks are organised helps in diagnosing and assessing many different kinds of brain injury.
