Please do a blood test before you can start any Medication, because gardenal has major impact on liver and using the drug without analysis of liver function prior can be dangerous

All these scheduled drugs should not be used without a proper prescription, and also, it is a rule that in online, these kinds of drugs should not be prescribed.
First, get him checked fully, identify the root cause, and go for treatment.

Best to keep in quiet and dark environment while the seizures pass. Gardenal and epic are reduce seizure long term and won’t help immediately . Kindly refer to your primary veterinarian for the right dosage for your pet

Dog convulsing is a result of one or many of the conditions like Low Blood sugar, Liver and Kidney diseases, Calcium deficiency and Poor blood circulation. These are a few common causes but there can be some major underlying health concerns as well. Treating with Phenobarbitone (common brand – Gardenal): Phenobarbitone/ Gardenal is also a GABA enhancer and is a controlled substance, though commonly used in the case of dogs. Gardenal comes in 60mg tablets that is a one-day dose for a 40kg dog in 2 divided doses. Dose of epicare is 1ml /3 kg.
Next Steps
Suggest for serum phenobarbitone examination .
Health Tips
