Welcome to this video, where I’ll be sharing the top 5 things you should know about Phenobarbital, one of the most common medications used to treat epilepsy in dogs and cats. I'll cover its effectiveness, possible side effects, and how it can impact a pet’s long-term health with a particular focus on liver function. I also mention use of phenobarbital in other neurological disorders which are not an epilepsy such as phenobarbital responsive sialadenosis (hypersalivation), feline orofacial pain syndrome (FOPS) and feline hyperaesthesia syndrome (FHS) / tail mutilation.
