Hi Sage.  She turned 4 Oct. 31 -- she's a Halloween baby.  She just got up 
about a half-hour ago -- it's about 5:20 am , here.  She walks without 
synchronicity, like a person after a stroke,  but her personality is still 
mainly there.  She gave me a morning kiss, but her level of energy is way 
down.  

Hunt terriers most like a really hyper Jack Russell, but,she's not that way, 
now.  the doc said it could take three weeks to adjust to the meds.  

I know how you feel about herbals, and I am learning, slowly.  But, She has 
had seizures, reguarly, through her lifetime.  Pheno-barb is a very old, 
tested, anti-convulsive; it's cheap, and I don't have to experiment.  I'm 
willing to experiment with herbs and other alternatives on myself, but I want 
the dogs problenms to be gone, now.   We have had this option for a long 
time, but we didn't want to go that route unless absolutely necessary.  Now, 
it is necessary.   The pheno-barb might not work; If it doesn't , I will be 
asking you for advice, and I thank you for the offer.

I'm glad you are so busy.  What is the old saying: "Make hay while the sun 
shines" ..... take care..........
