This patient is a 3yr, FS, Black lab mix that started having seizures in November. Seizures happen monthly. Often times 2 in the same day a few hours apart. Can be late evening or morning. Possible promodrome of not being herself, more wide eyed, klingy to one person but stand offish to others in the house. Vomits and drinks a lot of water after the seizure. Post Ictal phase can last 15minutes and also include pacing and decreased vision. BW is normal.
Original presentation - nervous but likes food in room, BCS 6/9, Tongue - Edges thin and dark pink, center lavender; red underneath. Pulses - deep, forceful, fast. Good coat quality, neutral temp to trunk and paws. Soft paws. Warm ear tips, Nose moist and warm. BL20 active.
Started on Calm Repose 1000mg TID and O changed diet to homecooked and raw. O notes calmer demanor in behavior, but no change in seizure frequency or duration after 2 months of herbal treatment. While on herbs - tongue is similar but at times in room is wider and thin. Pulses still deep and forceful, no vessel tone and normal - thin width. She is burping after receiving the herbs.
I am stuck with the next herbal approach. Am I missing dampness/phlegm in my diagnosis?
Thanks.
