PetAliveEaseSure-S - All Natural Herbal Supplement for Symptoms of Pet Seizures - Reduces Involuntary Muscle Movements and Twitching in Dogs and Cats - 59 mL

My 9 year old cat just started having seizures a few weeks ago. They last a minute or two where she shakes violently, rolls around, drools, urinates and then slowly returns to normal. After the first one, I took her to the vet and had blood work done. Everything was normal, the vet said to monitor her for now. In the meantime, I checked for natural treatments and found PetAlive EaseSure and saw all the great reviews. I started giving her some once a day: 2-3 drops mixed with water and gave it to her via a syringe. I started it 6 days ago. So far, there were 2 instances where she had a major seizure within 10 minutes of giving her the medication. Another time she had one about an hour after I gave her the medication. I can't help but think that this stuff is actually contributing to the seizures in some way. It's too co-incidental that she had seizures 2 times within 10 minutes of giving her the medication. I called the vet, and for now I'm stopping this stuff and see how she does the next few days. If she has another seizure, I guess I'll have to try the vet's solution although I prefer a natural treatment instead of the drugs they will give her.Update: 05/19/14 - I started my cat on 4mg's of Phenobarbital twice a day back in April of 2013. The seizures stopped, she only had a few minor ones the next few months. I haven't seen any signs of a seizure since July 2013. It's possible that she may have had one while I was at work but there's no way to tell (other than food bowls knocked over, etc.) When I'm home on weekends, I've never seen her show any signs. At the same time I started her on Phenobarbital, I continued with the PetAlive EaseSure because I hoped it would also help over long term. I give her 3 drops in the morning and 3 drops in the evening (mixed with water in a syringe) at the same time she gets her Phenobarbital dosage. This past December, I started decreasing her dosage of Phenobarbital to where she's now getting half the dosage (2mg's) that she started off with and so far, so good. No signs of seizures. My main concern was the long term use of Phenobarbital and possible liver damage (I also recently started giving her milk thistle to help with the liver.) I haven't been back to the vet since last year when she had her blood work checked after a few months on Phenobarbital. The vet doesn't know I decreased the dosage. I haven't decided if I'm going to try to completely wean her off the Phenobarbital or not. I would like to be able to stop it completely at some point and continue with the PetAlive EaseSure but I feel better knowing that her Phenobarbital dosage is half of what it used to be and I have to wonder if the PetAlive EaseSure is also helping. I'm bumping the review up to 3 stars and I'll update this review later if there is any news to report.Update: 06/13/15 - No signs of seizures in almost 2 years (since July 2013) - I'm weaning her off the Phenobarbital. To clarify, the prescription bottle says "Phenobarbital 16.2mg - 30 tablets) - the Vet had told me to give her 1/4th a pill twice a day, so that was about 4mg in the morning and 4mg in the evening. Since that time, I've slowly weaned her almost off the Phenobarbital. I'm currently giving her 1/8 a pill (2mg) once every 3 days, which is basically nothing. I don't think my Vet would agree with this but I'm doing what I think is best for my cat. Phenobarbital will damage her liver over time. I've also been giving her 3 drops of PetAlive EaseSure once a day, mixed with water in a syringe. Once I stop the Phenobarbital (probably pretty soon) I will continue to give her the PetAlive EaseSure. I feel confident that the PetAlive EaseSure is helping and I'm bumping the review up to 4 stars. I will give another update in the future and if everything continues to go well after I stop the Phenobarbital, I will probably bump up the review to 5 stars. I'm attaching a picture of my cat, hopefully she will remain healthy for a long, long time.Update: 06/21/16 - Cat is doing fine, still no signs of seizures since July 2013. I'm still giving her the same low dosage of phenobarbital that I was giving here a year ago and she still gets her 3 daily drops of PetAlive EaseSure. I sometimes miss a day here and there because she runs and hides when I mix in some milk thistle which she doesn't like. I spoke with the vet last year when I took her in for a checkup and he's aware that I am weaning her off the phenobarbital. Actually, she probably should have been off of it by now but I'm taking it slow. I'll continue with the PetAlive EaseSure probably for a long time. I'm also going to bump it up to 5 stars. Hopefully things will continue the way they have been.Update: 10/03/16 - Cat just had blood work and checkup done. She's doing fine and the vet said that her phenobarbital levels were so low in her blood that I could go ahead and stop it. As I mentioned in previous updates, I've been slowly weaning her off the phenobarbital since she hasn't had a seizure in over 3 years. I stopped the phenobarbital a little over a week ago but I'm still going to continue with the PetAlive EaseSure probably for the rest of her life. I still have some phenobarbital on hand in case the seizures start again but I'm hopeful that they won't. I'll continue to periodically provide updates on her.Update: 04/08/17 - Cat is still doing great, no signs of seizures in almost 4 years. She's been completely off Phenobarbital since October 2016 after slowly weaning her off over a few years. I just purchased a new bottle of this product but noticed that it's called "PetAlive EaseSure-S" instead of just "PetAlive EaseSure" - even though the picture on Amazon is still showing the old bottle. After some researching, I contacted the manufacturer and found out that the old formula has been split into 2 different products: PetAlive EaseSure-S and PetAlive EaseSure-M. Their explanation was that the "FDA asked us to separate our products that contained both herbal and homeopathic ingredients" so that's the reason for the change. They told me the EaseSure-S (herbal) should work exactly the same as the original formula. If not, I can buy both versions and combine the two to get the original formula. I just now started using the EaseSure-S so I figured it was a good time to give an update. So, going forward, my cat will now get the EaseSure-S formula and I will continue to provide updates as needed. I'm hoping there won't be any problems. I just want people to watch out - even though the Amazon listing continues to show the old formula, if you order at this time you will more than likely get the EaseSure-S version. You know it's funny, as I sit here typing this update, my cat is right next to me trying to walk on the keyboard - something she loves to do. I guess she wants to proof read it before I send it!Update - 09/03/18 - Cat is still doing great, she just turned 14 this year and she hasn't had any signs of a seizure in over 5 years. I've been giving her the EaseSure - S formula for over the past year and have had no issues. I give her about 2 drops/day. Either this stuff continues to work or the reason for her initial seizures is no longer affecting her. Either way, I'm going to continue giving this to her and I hope she lives a long, long time!

Early February my 13 year old pitbull suffered his first seizure one late night. Then another hours later at 6:00 in the morning. I took him to the vet once they open and they prescribed phenobarbital. Even though the seizures stopped I hated the side effects he was experiencing, drowsiness, extreme thirst which led to increased urination. I googled natural remedies and found this. I began him on this while still giving him the medication. He was on the medication for about a month before I started to slowly wean him off of it. I would decrease the dosage by half a pill. He was prescribed 1 and a half every 12 hours, so 3 in all. So for one week I took away half a pill, then the next week another half and so on until he was all out. While still giving him the maximum dosage of this. At the time of posting this 4/3/23 he's been completely off phenobarbital for a week and he's had NO seizures since his first few episodes around 2 months ago. I was skeptical of doing this method but it 100% works. This is a lifesaver for him. This will definitely be a permanent supplement for him going forward. I genuinely hope this is the solution for your pet as well.EDIT* Still NO SEIZURES. it's now been two full weeks since he's been off phenobarbital and I'm still giving him the maximum dosage for his size every day. Is drinking habits have returned to normal, his energy is back and he's back to normal and he's back up and running and playingas if he were half his age, which was regular for him. Again this doesn't hurt to try. It'll save you a lot of hassles, headaches and heartbreak from watching your pet suffer. Just so absolutely thankful for this.Another EDIT* June 4th as of this edit and he's been seizure free. Four months in total since the last seizure. I continue to give him the recommended dosage twice a day and make sure to never miss a day.

A fantastic product that can be used with a pet in the middle of a seizure. I unfortunately had to do this with my pet. I did not want to put him on pentobarbital and have him barely functioning. I wanted him to enjoy life and he does. There is no mixing required and it has been my experience that it works quickly. Doses are according to weight and the suggestions are on the side of the bottle. As with any herbal remedy, watch how much you give them. It got to the point my dog would fight me on taking some. My dog tried to spit it out. In any case, watch out for any seizure triggers such as marijuana smoking and marijuana treats etc. These things can induce seizures, especially in seizure prone dogs. If you like to smoke marijuana or dirty (chemical laced) marijuana, please do so without your dog around. Your dog will thank you and you will be providing good care for your pooch. This is also good to give for a pet that gets anxious about groomer visits or vet visits. The bottle is glass but the dropper is plastic. If you try to give it to your dog on his tongue, he may try to spit it out. To bypass his spit attempt, put the dropper (made of plastic) behind the molar in the back of his mouth. I do this when I give this to my pet and he can't spit it out that way. I am not sure how it works for pets in a thunderstorm. My pet sleeps right through those and he remains his happy self.
