Another visit to the vet.

We had an appointment today for Kona to have acupuncture, follow-up with the vet after Saturday’s barf-fest, and to discuss Kona’s medications. His liver enzymes are elevated but not sure if its from his most recent bout, his last few seizures, or his medication. His blood level of phenobarb is as high as is tolerable now, we can’t give him anymore. He was also a little low on protein in his blood. Sooo, we are going to add another anti-seizure medication and titre off the phenobarb a bit. We are adding potasium bromide. We are also to feed him about 4 ounces of chicken a day (he’s sooo upset about that) and a probiotic to his food since he seems to have some gastric upset, probably because of the phenobarb. And we’re adding pepcid. I’ll start him on the other medication next week when I am home to watch him. And he’s going in for an ultrasound and bloodwork to recheck his liver next week.
