Successful management of epilepsy requires knowledge of the pharmacologic properties of available antiepileptic medications, regular patient evaluations to assess response to therapy and monitor for adverse effects. A one year study on epileptic dogs presented to the Teaching Veterinary Clinical Complex, College of Veterinary Science and Animal Husbandry, Mhow was conducted to asses the comparative efficacy of drugs such as Phenobarbitone sodium, Phenytoin and Potassium bromide in the treatment of epilepsy in dogs on the 0th day of presentation. The efficacy of three drugs were evaluated on the basis of improvement in clinical signs and reduction in occurrence of seizures. Comparing the results of these drugs it was revealed that Phenobarbitone sodium is highly efficacious followed by potassium bromide and followed by Phenytoin.
