I had a dog who developed seizures. Low dose phenobarbital solved the issue thankfully. It was a little inconvenient because he required regular liver tests and also, phenobarbital being a controlled substance, I had to buy it at a regular pharmacy. But other than that it was fine, much better than the seizures. He had no issues until he died (years later) of unrelated problems stemming from old age.
Same experience however, my vet was able to sell it to me. She only had 2 seizures in the 8 years she was medicated and both times we found she had spit out her pill at some point.
