This article will discuss anticonvulsant drug polytherapy in dogs with so-called 'refractory' or 'intractable' epilepsy. Polytherapy has several potential disadvantages, Practice Guideline Summary: Sudden Unexpected Death in Epilepsy Incidence Rates and Risk Factors. April 2017. Current guideline. Codeveloped with the American Epilepsy Society and Efficacy and Tolerability of the New Antiepileptic Drugs II: Treatment of Refractory Epilepsy. April 2004. Update in progress. 1 Jul 2009 Thus, veterinary medicine is seeing an increase in the options available for managing refractory seizures in dogs. Although guidelines may differ among clinicians, I think that antiepileptic drug therapy is indicated for an animal that is experiencing more than one seizure a month, has cluster seizures than one in one hundred people have a seizure disorder and the incidence of seizures in dogs it is probably just as high ..

Requirements for monitoring specific to each AED are noted under Drug Therapy. Epilepsy is a multifaceted disorder. Through partnerships with foundations, industry and other universities, our laboratory studies novel treatment modalities, basis of disease, and improved methods to support pets with epilepsy as well as their caregivers. Much of our work has focused on refractory epilepsy in dogs, seizure every three months). In spite of current guidelines and the availability of effective anti-epileptic drugs, approximately 30% of epileptic dogs are not well controlled with monotherapy and become refractory epileptics.1. The most common manifestation of refractory epilepsy that we encounter at NCSU is cluster seizures 22 Feb 2016 To date, all of the published studies on levetiracetam for dogs with epilepsy have evaluated its use as supplemental treatment in dogs refractory to phenobarbital, bromide, or both. Nine of 14 (64%) dogs were reported to be 'responders', with a decrease in seizure frequency of > 50%.<b$
