Dog seizure

My dog was on pheno barbital before i decided to stop giving her the medicine. She started having seizures ar 4 months old at about 5 per day. Shes now 8 months and have been off pheno for aboyt 2 months.

The only vet clinic with license to give us medicine doesnt pay attention to her very well and every visit we have a different physician attends to us. One physician said to reduce her meds and the other to increase. We had her liver tested and they told me that her liver is being affected even with medication to prevent that but they didnt give me the results saying a bunch of stuff like I wouldnt understand what it means etc. Ive been reading up and Ive researched that switching diet, avoiding seizure triggers (pain, exercise (exhaustion) excitement lots of people) can help reduce occurence of seizure. While on pheno she would have about 10 days seizure free and then 1-2 seizure daily lasting minutes. Then id bring her to the vet our bills would rack up theyd give her some diazepam and a stronger medication then we'd continue pheno for about 10 days until the cycle repeats. Removing her from pheno, she has had 2 seizures last month lasting 30 seconds and another 1 lasting 15 seconds today. Last month I think her trigger was pain as she likes to explore and sometimes her foot or nose gets stuck. Today I think its exercise or tiredness because ever since we had our walk she look tired until she had her seizure.

I want to give her the best care I can but I dont trust this vet clinic anymore and there's no where else I can go that I can afford to travel at the very least.

I just want advice on what I can do. Husky 8 months 12 kg Duration of seizure 15 sec (most recent) , last seizure exactly a month ago 30 seconds and 39 seconds, 20 minutes apart She mostly stays in her crate as exercises trigger her seizures (even while on pheno) She gets out to walk almost daily depending on her mood.
