Epilepsy/Lafora's Disease/Ketogenic Diet

Has anyone looked into this at all, with respect to dogs? As some of you know, I have been looking into epilepsy/seizures a bit and have been given some papers on Lafora's Disease. In children a ketogenic diet has been shown to help in some cases and it has been suggested for dogs.

I've also heard Ketogenic diets have been helpful in humans, but not of anyone using it for dogs. Wonder if you could track down a leading ketogenic expert and ask them if they know anyone trialing it on dogs?

Please keep us updated on your findings too LS

Found a few sites about it, doesn`t appear to work the same in dogs as it does in people
