A 2nd opinion from Dr Sing Kong Yuen as regards whether it is possible for the refractory seizure dog that was housed in a shelter be weaned off anti-seizure medicine?  

Much depends on the cause of the seizures. Most times, the cause is unknown. Therefore, gradually reduce the dosage to see whether the fits returned. A diazepam enema is needed on standby if seizures occur. It is unlikely that this refractory seizure dog will be completely free from medication. The new owner wanted a second opinion.
