Short-Term Renal Effects of Add-On Levetiracetam in Client-Owned Dogs with Idiopathic Epilepsy Receiving Phenobarbital: A Four-Week Prospective Study

2026-07-29

Abstract excerpt

Levetiracetam (LEV) is a commonly used adjunctive antiseizure medication (ASM) in dogs because of its favorable pharmacokinetic profile and limited hepatic metabolism. However, because LEV is predominantly eliminated through renal excretion, prospective clinical evidence regarding its effects on renal function in dogs remains limited. This prospective study evaluated short-term changes in renal biomarkers during a...
