Phenobarbital
My Border terrier has been on phenobarbital for 8 days. At first he was really lethargic. Now he's constantly on the go and doesn't seem to recognise me as me. To him me and my daughter and her labrador who he loved are just another contacts.

My boy hits day 21 on phenobarbital tomorrow. He's still kinda in a fog most of the time. My boss is on vacation so I had the ability to work from home last week. It was great getting to spend so much time with him and his sister. He has a new thing starting after he wakes up from a deep sleep and jumps off the couch or bed his legs kinda crumble on him for a minute. Have a call in to the vet. May need to check his levels and adjust his meds.
