phenobarbital is this forever

[Chabs14]

My Pug just startedphenobarbital for his "fly biting" i thought i read somewhere that some dogs may not need to be on this forever, it may be a week or so of use, then he will return to the way he was before. Is this so? or will my pug have to be on this medicine forever? =( anybody know....

No, its not forever. As long as symptoms are controlled, then he may not need to take it anymore.

Hope this helps.

My dog was on phenobarb forever. The person you need to ask about YOUR dog is YOUR VET.
