Question submitted during Session II of The Canine Epilepsy Summit:
Regarding the addition of anti-seizure drugs in patients with refractory epilepsy:
"If a dog is refractory, do they still experience the side effects of the meds even if the seizure frequency doesn’t decrease?"
- Answer provided by a Session II Panelist:
Yes - the more drugs that are used the more side effects that we may see even if they do not decrease the seizures.
