I would recommend speaking to your vet about putting Benson on a different anti seizure medication that has less side effects. Also, dependent on the side effects that you are seeing, having him rechecked to make sure they are drug related not disease related side effects. Consultation with a neurologist is also an option if your vet is not comfortable with other medications for seizure control. I hope this helps and thank you for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach!
