Special warnings for each target species
The decision to start antiepileptic drug therapy with phenobarbital should be evaluated for
each individual case and depends on number, frequency, duration and severity of seizures
in dogs.
General recommendations for initiating therapy include a single seizure occurring more
than once every 4-6 weeks, cluster seizure activity (i.e. more than one seizure within 24 h)
or status epilepticus regardless of frequency.
Therapeutic phenobarbital serum concentrations should be monitored to enable the lowest
effective dose to be used. Typically, concentrations of 15-40 g/ml are effective in
controlling epilepsy.
Some of the dogs are free of epileptic seizures during the treatment, but some of the dogs
show only a seizure reduction, and some of the dogs are considered to be nonresponders.
