	Patricia and Amber: Amber Dawn of the Desert Sky, is a female, spayed, Yellow Labrador who is almost 16 months old. She started seizing at two months old. Amber's seizures begin with focals and then progress to clusters of Grand Mal seizures. She has been in status five times but has always pulled through. Amber seized every two weeks until we added Soloxine. She has now been 150 days seizure free. We are very proud of our Amber Dawn of the Desert Sky. Medications and Food: 60 mg.

	Patti and Rainbow: Rainbow is a 5 year old, 76 pound, retired Greyhound. We adopted her in April 2000 as a special needs Greyhound from an adoption group who got her after her previous owner died. Rainbow started having seizures at approximately 2 years of age while she was still racing. She was taking a low dose of Phenobarbital when we got her, but continued to have cluster seizures. He Phenobarbital was raised, we added Potassium Bromide and had her tick titered for tick diseases. She was treated for 8 weeks on Doxycycline in August, 2000 for tick disease and has been seizure free since. Rainbow is also deaf, but responds well to hand signals. She loves to run and play with her adopted Greyhound brothers Sly, Sparky and sister Queen. Medication and Food: 130 mg Phenobarbital and 750 mg Potassium Bromide twice a day. Rectal and oral valium as needed for cluster seizures. Supplement - NuPro powder. She is fed Purina One Chicen/Rice mixed with Wysong Synorgon, cooked vegetables, tuna or ground beef. She also eats bananas, apples, no fat yogurt and no fat cottage cheese along with any extra food she can steal.
