Hi everyone. My greyhound girl is about 4.5 years old and had her first ever seizure a few months ago. Her second was 2 months after the first, then the third one month after and she just had her 4th seizure at 4am last night (the only one we've videod, spoiler to hide in case it distressed anyone), 3 and a half weeks since the prior one. She had just started phenobarbital tonight (the vet wanted to wait until she had multiple seizures a month or less apart) and I guess I'm just nervous about the whole process. I have read a lot on how the first few weeks can be full of side effects and that the timing of the tablets have to be so strict with the 12 hours. If anyone is happy to share their stories and tips that would be much appreciated.

Extra info 
- her seizures are usually like the video attached, sometimes a bit more activity or foaming.
- She only toileted herself in the very first one. 
- All have happened in the early morning (7am, 7am, 3am, 4am) - could it be stress or something happening while she sleeps that is causing it? I am worried stress is causing it and that I may have contributed to it somehow without meaning to.
- the seizures last about 1-3 minutes on average.
- we have had her about 2.5 years with no prior medical issues.

Ps. I am looking at doing her tablets around 7am and 7pm. How do other people manage if you have something in the evening? Do you have someone come and medicate the dog? Not go out?

New to epilepsy in dogs and feeling overwhelmed.
