KBr would be what I’d use

pexion absolutely useless 90% of the time

I would agree that Pexion isn't great, though I'd probably only go as far as useless 75% of the time. I've not had much experience using KBr as sole treatment.

I wonder if we should consider gabapentin in these difficult epileptic cases, we know it is generally well tolerated in dogs and it was originally licensed as an anti-seizure medication in people.

That had been my experience but thought could see if helped.

I’d be concerned about what’s causing the eosinophilia - parasites? Lung worm? (Is he having mini bleeds?), any recent diet change, allergies?

might be worth trying on Purina neurocare too - had a few dogs do really well on it and need less or no meds on top.
