REPEAT MEDICATION

Epilepsy

A three month health assessment for epilepsy patients is essential for the following reasons:

Dogs and cats on epilepsy medication may have variations in the dosage requirements of their medication throughout their lives. Regular examination and discussion about their individual condition is essential for effective treatment.
Many of the medications used carry side effects which if identified early can be managed better.
Many of the medications used require regular blood monitoring to check for signs of liver toxicity and effectiveness.
Many of the medications used are controlled drugs and require regular check ups to be lawfully prescribed.
Remember your pet cannot always communicate when something is wrong - a three month check is the opportunity for us to detect any changes or problems.
