This is a capsule that is given in order to treat seizures that occur as a result of epilepsy and other causes. Some veterinarians prescribe it as a single medication or in conjunction with other medications in order to control seizures in dogs and cats.
Zonisamide should be given exactly according to your veterinarian’s instructions. Make sure your pet has water available at all times while taking this medication. Zonisamide can be given with or without food. The capsule cannot be broken. Always give them whole. If you are unsure of how to use this medication correctly, always call your veterinarian.
The exact mechanism of action is unknown but Zonisamide supposedly blocks sodium channels in the brain which decreases the activity of nerve cells so they do not fire abnormally. Zonisamide may also alter calcium levels in the brain.
Zonisamide usually takes about 2 to 4 hours to work to its maximum. If your pet is going to have side effects, you may be more aware of them during this time period. Half of this medication will be excreted from the body within Zonisamide 50 to 70 hours.

My dog has epilepsy and I've gotten his meds from Chewy since he was diagnosed. I never worry about them being delayed and the one time they had a shortage they informed me in plenty of time to find it someplace else. The times I've talked to customer service I was more than satisfied. I think Chewy is a great company
We adopted Brutus at 1 1/2 years and he had scary seizures. Now at 13 1/2 he has been almost seizure-free with a few very minor episodes. Auto shipping from Chewy makes everything very easy and cheaper than getting his medicine from the local pharmacy.
I love the incredible customer service I get each time I place an order for my dog’s medicine, treats, or toys.
Helps my 15 year old dog have fewer seizures.
Fast and accurate service at a good price.
Better tolerated by my dog. Was starting to refuse taking the Potassium Bromide solution.
The meds keeps my Coyote free from seizures and thank-full there is meds for him.
My 14 year-old Schnoodle began having seizures about 1-1/2 years ago. Vet started her on Zonisamide twice daily. She has not had a seizure since. Obviously good stuff!
This works to prevent seizure for my girl, however, the shipment was a disaster, I received the shipment on time, but the top was not put on the bottle (child proof top) and the 240 pills were laying in the box. The last pharmacy order they sent pills they would expire before they were used as the prescription dose. Love the prices but quality control is lacking lately.
I cut my payment in half by ordering my pet's seizure medications through Chewy's over the chain pharmacy - even including the shipping fee! Thank you, Chewy's - you are the best!!
