Epilepsy is a commonly encountered disorder in veterinary medicine that manifests as recurring epileptic seizures. Epilepsy can be the result of genetic changes that result in abnormal neuronal function, or the result of a physical abnormality in the brain such as a tumor or inflammation. Treatment revolves around controlling epileptic seizures, most often with antiseizure medications. Several antiseizure medications, such as bromide, levetiracetam, phenobarbital, and zonisamide, are used in veterinary medicine. The decision about which antiseizure medication to initiate in a patient will depend on clinician and client preferences. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
