My mother didn't remember the name. It was some type of phenobarbital. My mother swears Tia got the seizures from the flea medicine she was using. It was the type you put on their backs. I hope this helps. Valerie l--- On Tue, 11/30/10, C.M. <[email protected]> wrote:

He hasn't had any more seizures yet today, and I am praying that this was just an isolated incident and he does not have a liver shunt. Poor thing is just exhausted. He is also acting like he is having trouble swallowing a little. the vet did say he noticed a narrowing of the trachea, but he never had any trouble with it before...I am wondering if it could be swollen from the vomiting and the seizure? Please say a prayer for my little guy.
