Question by jett c: Can my dog overdose or have too much Phenobarbital in her system? What are the signs of this happening?
My american staffie has been having seizures since sept.She is under the care of a vet,and has had her pheno level upped twice since. She still has the seizures,and are horrible to watch. She sees the doc in 2 day’s,we just try to handle it the best we can. My vet say’s it’s ok to give her an extra dose when she is having her seizures. She is now on 5 grains a day,she seems to be ok during the day. The last 2 nights she had one about the same time each night. We love our dogs exceptionally, but hate to see her go through this. We have her bro and her mom also,and they are fine. Callie seems to be more aggressive towards them more than ever now,sometimes she frightens us. My husband feels that if she does not get better than we should have her put to sleep rather than watch her suffer. It’s a horrible thought,yet I do not want to be selfish. Any advice? Our Vet said last time that we had a lot of room to work with could this be true? I appreciate any feedback. Thanks.

Sorry to hear about your dog. If you dog is suffering and the medication doesn’t seem to be working, maybe it is time to have her put to sleep. I know it’s hard, but you don’t want to see her suffering. Good luck!
