AED are antiepileptic drugs, 2/3rds -not sure why the R got capitalised. It is a good point re the GI signs-the formulation here being made for vet use seems to be a more purified form-i could see the palm and rapeseed in above paper could have issues -the part I liked about the version here is pancreatic issues not supposed to be a concern-but its not clear what the actual oil base is that is being used. Will have to investigate some more.</p><div style="clear:both;"></div>RE: MCT Oil for mild seizures in French bulldog with concurrent gall bladder and GIT dysregulation plus adverse food responsehttps://www.vetsurgeon.org/thread/236557?ContentTypeID=1Sat, 12 Mar 2022 08:56:24 GMT146601cc-3922-4be7-9974-7e1d4e45a66b:d4f626a8-3469-4ada-9d2b-3757b2900b3cAndreas Ege<p>No personal experience.</p> <p>From the paper below it seems to work, though not brilliantly. Effects are statistically significant but if an average improvement from 1.99 to 1.68 days with seizures per month is practically relevant is another question. Probably still worth a try.
