Seizure stopped before it started

Seizure stopped before it started

New to this… my dog had two seizures a month apart. He’s on keppra now. Each previous seizure happened at exactly the same time, which was right as he was about to eat.

Anyway yesterday I put down his food bowl and he’s just staring at me. I say to my wife “he’s about to have a seizure” because this is exactly what happens. He just stares and starts to drool then he backs away looking terrified and the seizure starts.

Except yesterday he snapped out of it before the seizure actually started. He just kinda froze for like 20 seconds looking terrified then walked around a little wobbly but then was totally fine, no seizure.

Wondering if this is the medication doing its thing? I could have sworn he was definitely about to have a seizure but thankfully nothing happened.

Keppra dosage timing

My 5 year old Aussie shepherd had his first seizure bout two months ago. Exactly a month later he had another one. Vet started him on keppra 3 times a day.

The exact wording on the instructions is “timing of administration is very lenient, give one in the morning sometime in the afternoon and before bed”

However when googling keppra most sites say timing is very strict at every 8 hours. What is the correct answer?
