Replies on Duration of Immunity and Rabies Vaccination

Have you considered acupuncture? My 18 month old Border collie mix has had seizures since birth. First phenobarbital was given, then potassium bromide was added but she still was having seizures almost weekly. Started acupuncture three months ago and response has been dramatic. Time between seizures is lengthening and at present, she is going almost four weeks between seizures. Agree with other responders about need for high grade CBD.

Not all CBD oil is the same. Have to be strong and use the THC kind for seizures. Coming from CO, you can get it stronger in a state where it is legal to grow and make your own. I don't think hemp CBD oil is strong or active enough. Just like now they have announced cannabis works against cancer. Check out Rick Simpson's oil.

Kaykay, it could have been the CBD used. Not all are equal or have the equivalent amount, humans and pets require different dosing depending on size, the condition and possibly other factors. Some on the shelves are marketing bunk and are not 3rd party tested. Only one I know uses a particular proprietary processing to ensure higher grade/quality. The bottle may use fillers like coconut oil as well and/or doesn't show percentages so it's unknown and guesswork at best. I'd want quality and I'm sure you do as well for yourself and your pet. There are also some homeopathic treatments effective for seizures and/or detox from Vaccine bad stuff and also some bad flea/tick products.

Our beagle started having focal seizures we believe after Heartguard and possible vaccines. I was told by our vet at the time that Heartguard wouldn't cause any issues and he must take it. (I had a different opinion and discontinued usage after Christmas 2017) In November 2017, he had seizures every hour. Christmas morning 2017 he clustered again and he ended up in ER with a 3 day stay in ICU. He has clustered ever since (2 weeks to monthly) and we have been to ER with him too many times. We hated to put him on meds. CBD did not work for him unfortunately. He was started on Keppra, zonisamide was a nightmare (removed that one immediately), pheno was added and we started him on Kbr in October 2018. We had a great streak of 71 days after the Kbr addition. That is the longest we have had with no seizures since November 2017. Unfortunately in my area there is not a holistic vet within a 2-3 hour drive and he no longer does well on car rides. There are some other natural approaches we have tried. We also use Bachs Flowers Rescue Remedy for Pets. The food dilemma for our boy can be a struggle at times to get right. And I refuse to get another rabies vaccine, he is NOT a healthy dog.

I have a Papillon that got distemper at about 8 months from the vaccine, 5 way. She had a few seizures and I started giving her Sun Chlorella and NuVet vitamins. The seizures stopped for a few years, then I added CBD oil to control them. Finally she started having more and more seizures so I had to put her on phenobarbital which helped but made her groggy. Reduced the P and added 125 mg K-BroVet which reduced the seizures to about 1 every 3 weeks. These are not small ones, they are full blown body grand-mal that last minutes. She is on a new med so we will see how it works for her. She will be 8 years old the end of May.
