Hi All,
So an update on Cato: we are trialing a therapeutic dose of phenobarbital as the specialist thinks that he may be suffering from “phenobarbital responsive sialadenosis” a rare problem that they do not yet fully understand. We were told that the dogs usually respond very quickly to the phenobarbital if it is this they are struggling with, and having started the meds only yesterday morning, so far we have noticed no more symptoms. Usually inbetween the all night episodes, he still has smaller episodes , sometimes none, but usually there will be something. So we are very much hoping that we may have got to the bottom of it. There is still a lot of uncertainty especially as it’s very early days, but… fingers and toes crossed!
