Name: Casper
Male
Age: 2-1/2 years old
Color: Brindle
Size: 75 Lbs.
Cats: Cat tolerant, okay with small dogs.
Casper is very playful and likes people, other dogs and everything in life. He is affectionate and comes near to be petted at every opportunity. He is young and still learning so he takes things cautiously at first but then gets going like a puppy. Casper is has been evaluated by a veterinary neurologist and is doing well with his treatment.
Casper is happy and enjoys being with the people in his foster home. It takes some time to fully evaluate a siezure disorder but Casper is doing well so far and we are hopeful that he will be well controlled with medication and enjoy a long, happy life with loving people.

Casper has had some problems with seizure control for the last two months and the neurologist has added a second medication to his regimine to better control his seizures. The new medication, Potasium Bromide, is very effective but it takes 4 to 6 weeks to fully take effect. We are hopeful that this addition will reduce the frequency of his seizures so he is easier to manage. Although seizures cannot usually be completely stopped, they can be well controlled and Casper can continue to live a very happy, healthy life.
