Poor Oscar! Seizures can be so frustating to deal with at times! There is a variety of other anti-seizure medications that can be added to Oscar's anti-seizure protocol. Other commonly used drugs include levetiracetam, potassium bromide and zonizamide. You may discuss with your veterinarian extending his anti-seizure medication protocol. If he has another long seizure like that, he should be seen by a veterinarian as soon as possible as seizure activity must be stopped promptly to avoid long lasting neurologic effects. Best of luck with him. He is so handsome!
